Company Background

Ocean Gold was founded by it current Chief Executive (J.M.Jackson) in August 1998. The prime activity of Ocean Gold is coating fish portions, fish fillets and the manufacture of formed fish cakes and burgers.

J.M. Jackson (Michael) has been involved in value added fish processing at Director level since 1971 and was proud to launch a range of coated fish fillets which could be cooked in the oven during 1980 the first in the U.K. In January of 2005 Ocean Gold installed new machinery which has the capability of partially/fully cooking the raw material prior to processing. In addition Ocean Gold has the ability to add sauces which have been prepared to suit the customer's individual requirements whether they are added to the product or part of a pie.

Ocean Gold chose the site in Hull (Originally owned/occupied by Eskimo Foods or FINDUS) due to its proximity to a skilled labour resource, transport links, Public cold storage facilities and the vast array of engineering skills to support its production facilities. The site has been totally refurbished and Ocean Gold is proud to have BRC 3rd party accreditation at HIGHER LEVEL and also The Seafish Industry award at HIGHER LEVEL.

The site has been designed as a production unit with the emphasis on keeping costs to an absolute minimum and investing in the latest cutting edge technology.

Ocean Gold primarily supplies Food Service customers but also has links with household names in the retail sector.
