Bluecrest

Bluecrest

Bluecrest was a British manufacturer and processor of fish products based in Grimsby, England, UK. It was founded in 1975 by Frank Flear and had quickly became an important player in the Grimsby fish market.

Bluecrest was acquired by Fitch Lovell in 1985 and further acquisitions followed during the 1980s. In 1990, Fitch Lovell sold Bluecrest to Booker PLC, which also had acquired the Rossfish division from Hanson. The two companies were merged to form Booker's Fish Division.

In 1999 Booker sold Bluecrest to a management buyout of rival Young's Seafood, backed by Legal & General Ventures (LGV). The combination of the two businesses formed Young’s Bluecrest, currently the UK's leading specialist fish business.
