Following a successful period of growth during 2007, Wiltshire-based Lyons Seafoods has announced that it will be strengthening its existing team with the appointment of Paul Succony, as operations director.

He has over 20 years' senior operations experience within the food manufacture industry that includes positions with Northern Foods, Bowyers and most recently Grampian Halls, Scotland’s largest pork processor and haggis producer.
