Young’s Seafood marketing director Yvonne Adam said: “When Gastro was a £20m business, we set steep targets to triple its size over three years. Now at £66m, our vision is to grow the number one premium seafood brand to £100m and we’re confident this revamp will be a building block that makes our products unmissable in store.”

“Our vision is to grow the number one premium seafood brand to £100m and we’re confident this revamp will be a building block that makes our products unmissable in store.”

As part of the launch, the seafood company conducted a study featuring 500 Gastro shoppers and 1,000 non-Gastro shoppers to identify the performance of the packaging across all key measures.

The company is planning to expand the new packaging design across all its frozen fish products.
