About Mark
Given we operate in regional Tasmanian areas, where the need for stable employment is critical it has been heartwarming to be part of positive change for many families who we have been able to provide meaningful jobs and opportunities in these areas. Partnering with local skills and trade institutions, manufacturing, logistics and feed businesses, community and environment groups, as well as schools and apprentice programs, has made us proud to be part of positive social and economic growth for our State. We are deeply connected to our Tasmanian roots and it is the commitment to make a difference to the communities where we operate which inspires us to be among global leaders for our industry, for the benefit of our local regions. Our team’s innovation, commitment to the community and focus on continuous improvement inspires me everyday. It is incredibly humbling to see and hear the stories about purpose, hope and opportunity our company provides. I love the fish, but it’s really about the people.
