My family first became involved in the Fleetwood fishing industry in the early 1920’s, as many of my ancestors were local fishermen working from the Fleetwood dock on Fleetwood trawlers. This traditional line of work developed through the family as my grandfather and father became engineers for fishing companies where they both – in their time - had the opportunity to work on board some of the country’s greatest trawlers. This experience eventually led my father to the fish merchant side – where he successfully established his own business supplying fresh local fish to businesses throughout the country.
