CSF Continues Growth and Investment.
At the end of July 2005, CSF turnover had reached £100 million. No mean feat for a company that started only eight years ago. This is coupled with a continued investment programme, which has seen over £14million invested in the site and equipment.
Training
Our continued success is not possible without our staff and as such we continue to invest in them. We recently ran an Intermediate HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) training session. Demonstrating the commitment of our staff in maintaining our quality standards, every candidate passed the course.
In addition to this the company has recently started running the Chartered Institute Environmental Health (CIEH) Accredited Fundamentals of Health and Safety and CIEH Accredited Principles of Manual Handling to ensure that our staff are aware of the dangers in the workplace. These courses have enabled our staff to work in a safe environment as well as maintaining quality standards. The majority of the candidates who took part passed the course.
Other courses we have invested in include Fundamental and Intermediate level in Food Safety with very impressive pass rates.

Cumbrian Seafoods is continuing to support the local community by sponsoring the local amateur league club for the seventh year. The club enjoyed a triple celebration in August with the club’s U 12’s rounding off a superb season winning their third trophy of the season, while the club’s newly formed U17’s cleaned up the inaugural Cumbrian U17 league with a 100% record, beating Kells 60- 26 in the final at Copeland Stadium.
The club also had three players in the BARLA Great Britain U21’s team that were defeated by the Army. Pride of Cumbria Award
