About Pesky
Pesky Fish is reinventing the seafood supply chain to create a more sustainable industry for fish, fishermen and consumers. We are currently delivering the country’s fastest, freshest fish (as little as 6 hours to London), returning £1,000s of incremental value to local fishermen every week.
We are a team of 25 (and growing!), we work with a fleet of over 30 boats landing their catch to us across the South West, North East and now the South Eastern coast.

- Hold a full clean UK driving license, with no previous convictions or penalty points.
- Be computer literate, with experience of emails, MS Excel and Word, and ideally a pervious understanding of supply chain/order management systems.
- Innovative and creative; we are tackling an industry full of inefficiencies, and there are plenty of problems to solve. Including but not limited to packaging, transport methods, grading methods and systems…
