A WELL-established supplier of seafood has relocated to the Granby Industrial Estate in Chickerell.

Tim and Lou Edwards, who live in Bridport, created West Country Catch in February 2013 and they now supply some of the finest hotels and restaurants in the South West including the Hix Oyster & Fish House, River Cottage HQ and The Anchor Inn in Seatown near Bridport.

West Country Catch relocated from their premises in Dorchester to Link Park in Chickerell in April 2017.

The company source their fish from Weymouth and Portland boats and also fish from Brixham, Plymouth and Newlyn.

Tim said “We are in constant contact with our buyers in Brixham and Cornwall throughout the day, which keeps us up to date with what is due to be landed.

"This means I can then offer our customers the finest fish at the best prices.

"The new 3,000sq ft Weymouth unit has provided totally flexible space for our growing business.

"We now have bespoke office space, a retail counter which enables us to sell to the public and an extensive fish preparation area where everything can be filleted and prepared to order.

"Our most popular fish are Gurnard, Lemon Sole and Mussels from Exmouth Mussels, with most of our fish coming from sustainable sources.”

West Country Catch employ six full-time members of staff and will be looking to expand over the next few years.

The fish is collected daily from Brixham by Tim who leaves for the fish market at around 4am every morning.

The fish is then freshly prepared and delivered to customers the same day from the unit at Link Park.

West Country Catch now offers a selection of frozen foods such as prawns, scampi and whitebait to their customers.

Mickey Jones, chief executive of DJ Property added: "I was delighted when Lou and Tim approached me for advice about a new premises for their growing business.The West Country Catch business is expanding and finding the right unit to meet their needs was very important.

"Relocating from Dorchester was a big decision for Lou and Tim but I am convinced that the unit at Link Park on Granby Industrial Estate is the perfect location for the business.

"The reputation of food and drink in the South of England is gaining popularity and growing rapidly and it is essential that we have good supply businesses, such as West Country Catch locally."
