Management Accountant

Loch Duart Ltd is a proud and very different Scottish Salmon farming company.  The difference begins with a ‘best practice’ approach to rearing salmon and ends with a product which is consistently judged superior in taste, quality, colour and overall perception, as evidenced by the number of leading international restaurants which serve Loch Duart farmed salmon by name.  Loch Duart enjoys an extraordinary level of brand recognition as a primary food producer.  This company is dedicated to supplying the finest farmed salmon to discerning customers in domestic and export markets.

Loch Duart has built a reputation for going beyond ‘Best practice’ and innovating in salmon farming.  The company intends to build on and enhance this hard-earned reputation through research and development and the most progressive approach to producing delicious farmed salmon.
