Aquaculture supplier bids to net 14 new recruits 

Inverness-based aquaculture industry supplier Gael Force Group has launched a recruitment drive to fill 14 vacancies. They include the role of export sales manager to push the company’s products and services in international markets.

Gael Force, which currently employs around 170 people, is also seeking a chief technical officer to oversee technical development, strategic direction, and the execution of the company’s product portfolio including product innovation, design, and lifecycle management.

“Our goal is to build on our success by entering new markets, enhancing our product offering and capability, and continuing to innovate,” said Gael Force founder and managing director Stewart Graham.

“By recruiting the right individuals into these key roles, we are confident that we will continue to meet the evolving needs of our customers with even more reliable and innovative solutions. This is about ensuring that we continue to deliver exceptional value and exceed customer expectations by providing them with world-class quality products and services.”

The UK is the company’s core market, but it has also made efforts to expand overseas. In 2019 it opened a service centre in Atlantic Canada, and in 2022 it established Gael Force Europe to serve aquaculture in the Mediterranean.

The company supplies a range of equipment to fish farmers including pens, feed barges and feeding equipment, lighting, cage cameras, moorings, and aeration systems.

It also supplies the commercial fishing, marinas, and leisure marine sectors.
