Whitby Seafoods has recruited 11 new staff after increasing sales of its products nationally through supermarket giant Tesco.
The company, which employs 140 people in Whitby, announced in September that it was to supply its Whitby Scampi nationally through Tesco, after investing millions of pounds in upgrading its production facilities.
Laura Whittle, marketing and sales director for Whitby Seafoods, said that sales through Tesco have now increased from GBP 750,000 to more than GBP 2 million in the last year.
During this year alone, five more of their products have been listed nationally with the supermarket.
