We are proud to announce our 2019 MSC UK Awards winners! Meet your sustainable seafood champions.
The 2019 MSC UK Awards
The success of the MSC programme in transforming the UK seafood market to a sustainable basis would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our partners. On July 8, to recognise and rewards these achievements, we invited valued partners from across the UK seafood supply chain to celebrate shared successes and showcase best in class in seafood sustainability once more.
Not only that, but we also had the honour of hosting our ceremony in the prestigious Fishmongers' Hall, London. Thanks to the support of Fishmongers' Hall we were able to celebrate the success of our partners and the industry in this beautiful venue.
