Kingcrab.co.uk is the internet face of a successful fish merchants that has been working out of Grimsby for over a third of a century. Our aim is to bring you shellfish and seafood that you will find difficult to get in your local fishmongers or your supermarket. Supermarkets don't like fish because it's wild and uncontrollable; in other words they can't dictate how we buy it. 

Although we have our internet presence we are real people who understand seafood

Leadership at every level

The success of our company is built from having inspiring, creative leaders at all levels of the business. Because we believe that leadership shouldn’t – and doesn’t – come from the top alone. We need energising leaders in all parts of the business.

That’s why we invest heavily in developing internal excellence through leadership development programmes – combining internal and external training with a review process – to identify and develop talent at our company.

Our global employee development programme (GEDP) is the cornerstone of our people strategy and fosters leadership development by managing the performance, potential, development and careers of our people.

This approach to talent management not only creates career opportunities for those who strive to develop their potential. It also ensures we develop a pipeline of talent ready to occupy senior leadership positions.

Developing tomorrow’s leaders is also about providing excellent learning opportunities. The work of our university plays a key role here, offering corporate leadership development programmes to nurture our future leaders.

The Talent Academy concept was originally formed in June 2015 as an initiative by United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust to support engagement of younger people into its workforce.

Due to its success, the Academy evolved in April 2016 incorporating its Lincolnshire stakeholders to strengthen and support local partnership and the benefits of collaboration.
