Young Seafood Leaders Network

We set up a network to connect the talented young professionals from across the UK seafood industry. Find out how to join and what is involved.

The Young Seafood Leaders Network (YSLN) is a platform for knowledge sharing, identification, and appreciation of best practice. We were inspired by other overseas networks that celebrate the future talent in the seafood industry.

The goals of the network are to:

  1. Provide opportunities to explore business development ideas, study innovation and lead change in the UK seafood industry
  2. Provide networking opportunities
  3. Build partnerships and mentoring between young professionals and experienced industry practitioners
  4. Develop leadership skills
  5. Identify professional development opportunities and to help finding a platform to develop in
  6. Give our members a voice in industry

The YSLN is led by a steering group who shape the network’s annual programme of events and activities.
