Seafood companies win praise

IRISH seafood companies who recognise the importance of marketing for the future of the industry were praised in Dublin yesterday.

Communications, Marine and Natural Resources Minister Dermot Ahern announced the Irish Seafood Business Programme, which will be run in 2003 by BIM, will continue the good work achieved by the Marketing Capability Programme (MCP).

Thirty-three of Ireland’s key seafood companies who participated in the 2002 MCP were on hand to receive marketing certificates from BIM and the Marketing Institute.
