Owner Cree MacKenzie who founded both companies in 1992 said: “We are pleased to announce the sale of our mussel farming operations to Loch Fyne Oysters Limited, we see LFO as the ideal company to continue to develop mussel farming and processing in Loch Roag on the Isle of Lewis and Lamlash Bay on the Isle of Arran with their proven track record of rearing and supplying a variety of shellfish to the highest quality standards and will secure and increase employment in the local area.”
David Attwood, Aquaculture Director at LFO, is excited about this new development and is looking forward to working alongside the highly skilled and motivated workforce who have some of the most modern and up to date mussel processing equipment available in Scotland.
