Maris Seafoods Ltd
New Member Profile
Christian Riber and Steven Tilston co-founded Maris in 2015 with the support of Sirena Group. Having identified a gap in the market for a high-end seafood marketing company without the overheads most other well-established companies appeared to have, their approach was simple: clean seafood, lean business, and keen pricing.
At Maris we promote sales of wild caught seafood from across the world. Our bespoke team is truly passionate about the seafood industry and strives to bring a new and innovative approach which in turn complements our clients' service to their customers with continuity of flawless seafood, servicing EU and UK retailers, foodservice, processors and wholesalers.
We have eight staff based in our Hull and Warrington offices in the UK and back up in our Copenhagen headquarters.
We have long-standing close cooperations with an assortment of fishing vessels around the world. In some instances, exclusive sales and marketing rights for 100% of their catch. In addition, fully utilised workshops processing groundfish.
During the first few years our key focus was on building a strong client base. Now established, we feel it necessary to help market frozen food. The quality of frozen seafood over fresh is clear by a mile and fresh/ refreshed sales not only promote lower quality, but significantly more waste, which is a detriment to the planet and the future of it. It’s a corporate social responsibility path we have set out on and it won’t stop at the BFFF. We will engage in the support of a marine conservation programme in 2020 to help safeguard our seas.
Having global access and group knowledge has helped us lay our foundations over the last four years and we are confident our strategy for the future will contribute towards game-changing seafood.
