The Story of Young’s Seafood – Masters of Fish
Young’s are one of the biggest specialist seafood brands in the UK. Founded in 1805, they are a household name in most supermarkets producing branded and retailer own label products.
With multiple specialist sites across the UK, it was an exciting challenge to work with Youngs Seafood as part of the DigiGreet food manufacturing portfolio.
As with all food manufacturing, health and safety is of paramount importance. Knowing that everyone on site is aware of all the necessary requirements, best practices, and site rules, is essential to maintaining Young’s very high standards.
Having the ability to control what information is given to which person and at what frequency ensures people are briefed correctly, and that the information can be updated as required. This is more than just ticking a health and safety box but really influences behaviour on the ground.
After carrying out a market analysis, DigiGreet was the visitor management system which most closely fitted Young’s requirements.
Why Young’s Seafood Chose DigiGreet
DigiGreet was the only system to meet these challenges. In addition, being able to Centralise the solution and apply common processes and application was really important to Youngs – as it was to be able to change the process via their own admin panel in DigiGreet.
How Young’s Seafood Used DigiGreet
Young’s started with their head office in Grimsby to prove the concept and establish that the benefits expected were achievable. This included making sure the actual relationship, including DigiGreet’s responsiveness to questions, requirements, and day to day running, matched, and possibly even exceeded expectations.

Through implementing DigiGreet, Young’s was able to better manage people on site, there was a clear improvement, with DigiGreet’s comprehensive site information, of site rules and health and safety, allowing us to meet our technical standards whilst simultaneously improving the experience of people coming to site and providing available data across their full estate.
