Supporting Grimsby businesses
Grimsby was once the world's largest fishing port, and seafood processing remains a defining industry. Young's Seafood and many other processors and cold stores operate in and around the town, which is often described as the centre of the UK's seafood processing industry. Food manufacturing more widely, from chilled ready meals to bakery, is a major employer across North East Lincolnshire.
Grimsby has also become a hub for offshore wind. Its port is the operations and maintenance base for several of the large wind farms in the North Sea, with crew transfer vessels heading out daily and a growing supply chain of marine, engineering and technical services businesses. Together with the Port of Immingham, one of the UK's largest ports by tonnage, the area is busy with logistics, chemicals and energy firms. Cleethorpes next door supports seaside tourism and hospitality, and the Grimsby Institute provides further and higher education.
Food processors face strict audit and traceability requirements, and their production, labelling and stock systems need to be running at all hours. Rugged scanners and printers, cold-store Wi-Fi and well-backed-up servers are common needs. Offshore wind and marine firms have staff moving between port, vessels and home, so they need secure mobile devices, Microsoft 365 with MFA, and good file sharing. Energy clients increasingly send security questionnaires to suppliers. Smaller firms in Grimsby and Cleethorpes, from cafés to trades, mostly need websites that work, sensible email and quick help when something breaks.
