We are delighted to have been shortlisted for ‘Exporter of the Year’ for the 2019 Insider Made in Scotland Awards. We have been shortlisted after we demonstrated outstanding export growth with export sales having increased by 68% over the last two financial years to an all-time high for our business.

 

Alban Denton, Managing Director of Loch Duart, said:

“Loch Duart is proud to be shortlisted as Exporter of the Year for the Insider Made in
Scotland Awards, especially as we celebrate our twentieth year of farming salmon. It’s a
chance to reflect on how we’ve grown in both scale and reputation, with around 70% of our
salmon being exported to over 20 countries. Our foreign customers love Loch Duart salmon
and are particularly keen on the quality, exclusivity, and provenance of the brand. We look
forward to the awards and celebrating Scotland’s amazing business success stories.”
