The Orkney Herring Company was founded in 1987 by Ken & Mary Sutherland and is based in Stromness, the ancient fishing port and formerly one of the man herring stations of Orkney. Over the years the company has developed into the UK's largest producer of Sweet Cured Herring and has recently added Orkney Salmon, North Atlantic prawns and crayfish to the range. All of the products are ready to eat and come in a delicious variety of sauces and marinades. The products are all very versatile, can be served either hot or cold and are perfect for starters, light lunches, buffets and seafood platters. All of the herring products are available in both retail and catering packs. The Orkney Herring Company prides itself on being a reliable yet flexible supplier, providing its customers with a consistently high quality product as witnessed by the completion of an integrated management system combining the ISO9001 quality standard, the ISO14001 environmental standard and OHSAS18001 Health and Safety standard. In 2003, The Orkney Herring Company became the first fish processor audited by NQA (National Quality Assurance Ltd) to have met such exacting standards. The company has EFSIS Higher Level Approval which includes the requirement for the British Retail Consortium.
