Making a grab for exporting success


The Far East Asian market can’t get enough of our Devon specialities like the pie crust edged brown crabs, says David Markham, Sales Director of The Blue Sea Food Company. He added: “Over 28,000 tons of


crab is landed in the UK every year, and over 5,000 tons of cooked and live crabs are exported to countries like China and Japan – where the crab is valued as a delicacy and huge source of dietary protein.” Lisa Glendenning, Events Manager


at Devon Chamber, said: “A recent Chamber Members’ visit to see the workings at the factory was fascinating and very popular and it explained why the company is one of Devon’s export successes.” Trevor Bartlett, Managing


Director of The Blue Sea Food Company, said: “I’m a passionate believer in putting something back in the community and we employ ex-offenders in our company.

“Rehabilitation is about supporting and giving second chances to inmates who want to turn their lives around. Having a job, and place to stay are two of the fundamentals in stopping prisoners reoffending. “The Blue Sea Company is also


involved in an initiative at encouraging selected inmates to use their business skills in a legitimate way to encourage entrepreneurship through a 14-day course over 14 weeks. The Entrepreneur Inside’ is a CIC company and successfully completed a pilot programme in Dartmoor Prison last year, where 17 inmates were identified as having


entrepreneurial skills, and were taken through the basics


of running a business. They were given one-to-one mentor sessions by experienced business leaders, as well as advice and guidance. “Funds permitting, we are


looking to run another course at HMP Channings Wood this year, with the aim of providing additional support on release – including accommodation.”


The Far East has developed a taste for Devon specialities
