Line Leader, Manufacturing ​/ Production

Line Leader We are the UK’s leading supplier of rope-grown mussels and cultivated Pacific oysters. Our farmers produce mussels and oysters of the highest quality from the pristine seas of the West Coast of Scotland and the Shetland Isles. Our shellfish are either prepared as fresh products or made into a superb range of ready-meal dishes for sale in supermarkets and other retail outlets.

We believe the quality of our mussels and oysters lies in the passion our farmers have for shellfish farming and the real care and pride they take during the cultivation process. We are a co-operative, so our farmers engage in every part of the business. As we continue to grow, we require an experienced Line Leader to join the team at our state-of-the-art facility in Bellshill.
