Kimberley Metcalfe
BBC Local Live, Hull and East YorkshireEarlier today Icelandic Seachill, which employs 750 at its sites in Grimsby, announced it was up for sale.
Union Unite reacted to the news with concerns about their members' future at the company.
We asked Seachill what this sale means for the future of the firm - and jobs:
Quote MessageThis sale process comes as no surprise and until concluded, will have no direct impact on our employees. This is a very positive next step for Seachill, its employees and partner customers who place a high value on the business management and strategy, and it is likely that operations will continue in a similar way as present."

Kimberley Metcalfe
BBC Local Live, Hull and East YorkshireUnite has called for an urgent meeting with the management of Icelandic Seachill in Grimsby.
It was announced earlier today that one of the town’s largest employers has been put up for sale.
Unite say they have around 180 members at Seachill, mainly working in production roles and do not understand the rationale behind the sale of the company.
Quote MessageWe understand that the company has had a significant improvement in sales recently, so why has the business been put up for sale? This is a worrying and uncertain time for the dedicated and hardworking workforce. We will be giving our members the union’s maximum support in the days and weeks ahead.”

BBC Radio LincolnshireHere's some of the latest stories from across the county:
- It's claimed schools in Lincolnshire will be £45m worse off under planned funding changes
- Vegetable growers in Lincolnshire say they're investing in new technology because they're worried about a shortage of workers after Brexit
- The University of Lincoln is offering a helping hand to any Lincoln City fans with their parking this weekend
Unions fear proposed funding changes will mean shortfallspublished at 13:41 British Summer Time 21 April 2017
Sharon Edwards
Political Reporter, BBC Radio LincolnshireA teaching union says Lincolnshire will lose £45m under planned school funding changes.
The government disagrees and says its new formula - due to start in 2019 - will tackle longstanding unfairness.
Image source, Getty ImagesBut the National Union of Teachers says according to their figures some schools are facing massive shortfalls and will have to make redundancies.
Quote MessageAs a whole it'll have a detrimental impact. Some schools will be forced to make decisions like teacher redundancies, have to make considerations about buildings... because these cuts in some cases are extremely severe.
Ken Rustidge, NUT
The Department of Education says the figures are fundamentally misleading because schools will receive more money as pupil numbers increase. It adds school funding is at its highest level on record.
