🌟 Supporting Mental Health Foundation 🌟

At Aquascot, we're proud to support our partner, Martin Broadfoot as he takes on the challenge of the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon to raise funds for the Mental Health Foundation.

Every step Martin takes around the iconic Loch Ness route will help support the Mental Health Foundation's vital work in developing programmes, research and policies that promote good mental health for everyone.

As a local business, we understand the importance of looking after the wellbeing of our communities, and we're delighted to back Martin in supporting such an important cause.

A Proud Moment for Our Partners 🏆

We’re delighted to share some fantastic news, fresh from our recent EOA celebrations, we have been named Waitrose & Partners Own Brand Supplier of the Year 2026. This is a significant achievement within the UK grocery sector and a major milestone for our business.

This award reflects more than 30 years of partnership with Waitrose, built on a shared commitment to delivering high-quality, responsibly sourced Scottish salmon and trout.

As an employee-owned business based in Alness, our people are at the heart of everything we do. This recognition is a true reflection of the passion, commitment, expertise and attention to detail shown by our partners across every part of the business. It’s their dedication that allows us to consistently showcase the very best of Scottish seafood on a national stage.

To all our employee partners—this one is for you 👏

A huge thank you to our teams, our partners and to Waitrose for this recognition.

🌟 A proud moment for Aquascot! 🌟

Last week, Aquascot was recognised on the national stage at the UK Employee Ownership Awards — and what an achievement it was!

Founder Denis Overton received the prestigious Philip Baxendale Fellowship Award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to employee ownership and his long-standing advocacy for the model.

Patrycja Cisewska, Employee Ownership Trust Business Partner, was also honoured as EO Owner of the Year, for her dedication to championing the partner voice, strengthening connections, and ensuring colleagues are heard throughout the business.

These awards reflect not only individual excellence but the collective effort behind Aquascot’s employee ownership journey.

From the Scottish Highlands to the national stage, this recognition highlights the people, values, and commitment that drive our success every day.

Congratulations, Denis and Patrycja, a truly well-deserved achievement!

🎉 We did it! 🎉

Our amazing team has collectively walked over 60 miles in support of Inverness Women's Aid — and together we’ve raised an incredible £350 for the charity!

We wrapped up the final days of the challenge in style, climbing Fyrish under beautiful sunshine. Some of the team even stumbled across the famous gold-coloured stones featured in the
penultimate challenge of this year’s BBC show The Traitors — a fun surprise to end on!

A huge thank you to everyone on the team for their effort, and an even bigger thank you to all who donated so generously. Your support truly makes a difference.

Now that our miles are done… we think we’ve earned the right to put our feet up! 👣💛

🌟 Supporting Inverness Women's Aid 🌟

Our team is proud to announce that our chosen charity this year is Inverness Women’s Aid — an organisation making a real difference for women, children and young people across the Highlands.

Inverness Women’s Aid has been providing specialist support since 1979, offering safety, confidential guidance and practical help to those experiencing physical, emotional, sexual or financial abuse.
For many victim-survivors, they are a vital lifeline during moments of crisis, offering a trusted route to safety and informed decision‑making when it matters most.

To show our support, we’ll be taking part in the 28 Steps Challenge organised by the charity. Starting Monday 2nd February, our team will be completing a 28‑minute walk during lunchtime, helping raise awareness and funds for this incredibly important cause. 🚶‍♀️💜
