CEO will move on in December
Marcus Coleman is stepping down as chief executive officer (CEO) of Seafish at the end of 2025 to take up a CEO position with another organisation.
Credited with modernising Seafish and forging closer connections with the seafood sector across the UK, he has been in post for the past decade.
Under his leadership, Seafish stepped up to assist seafood businesses through the turbulent times brought on by Brexit, Covid and evolving geopolitical situations.
Marcus Coleman said: “I have had the enormous privilege to work alongside dedicated and committed colleagues who wholeheartedly believe in the UK seafood industry and work tirelessly using their knowledge and expertise to support the sector in all its different constituent parts.
“I would also like to thank members of the Seafish Board, past and present, who have always supported me and my executive team as the organisation has continued to evolve and improve.”
Seafish chairman Mike Sheldon said: “Marcus has ensured that the highest standards of corporate governance have been upheld at Seafish while also being a great champion for the seafood sector. His contribution is widely appreciated and I thank him for his service and wish him well in his new role.”
Seafish will shortly launch the process to appoint a successor.
