Joining the corporate social responsibility (CSR) team, Moffat’s new role includes overseeing the environmental effects of the seafood supply chain, driving sustainability in the business as well as promoting and developing sustainable fisheries and farms for new species.
He said: “Young’s is already at the front of sustainable practices and fish welfare - it’s an impressive, forward-thinking business with an exciting future.
“There is a huge opportunity to grow the company’s sustainable practices even further, and as the market changes and more environmental issues arise, we need to lead that change by ensuring that we have the right practices in place.
“I am really keen to begin this journey as soon as possible and I look forward to developing our strategies over the next few months.”
