In 1973, David Appleby and Peter Merrick chose Fleetwood as the ideal location to start AM Seafoods Ltd. They realised then that a central geographical location would be a key factor in sourcing daily supplies of fresh, top quality shellfish. At the end of 2003 David Appleby retired and Mark Merrick, a chartered accountant, joined the company as Financial Director. He joined his brother Scott, Production Director, who came to A.M.Seafoods in Jan.1997 after graduating in Business Studies

Nowadays, king scallops, queen scallops, crab and whelks arrive overnight from locations as far away as Wick, The Isle of Man, Shoreham and Brixham and are delivered to the factory in temperature controlled vehicles, to ensure absolute freshness on arrival.  The company employs 100 people and it's main activity is the processing of scallops and whelks.

The factory satisfies all EU standards. There is a full induction and ongoing training programme for staff and a HACCP system in place which gives full traceability and guarantees the quality of the product through the production process. Since 2002 The company achieved BRC Global Standard and in 2004 certification by the French quality standards organisation Bureau Veritas. It has been the service given to our suppliers and customers and the attention given to our processing, that has enabled AM Seafood's to grow into one of the major shellfish processors in the UK.  Re-investment in people, plant and product development will ensure future growth.
