NPC appoints new general manager of quality and sustainability

The National Prawn Company (NPC), among the world's largest integrated prawn farms, has appointed Frédéric Millet as general manager of quality and sustainability.

His brief is to oversee the sustainability programmes that form the basis of the company's high quality products.

The appointment flags one of the core values of NPC's desert coastal aquaculture business, which is not simply to maintain and preserve the environment in which the prawns and sea cucumbers and greater Amberjack, breed, but to ensure the commercial longevity of the entire operation. 

Millet's task is to integrate all the components of prawn production from hatchery through to delivery to the customer in such a way that they are working towards the same goal of long-term sustainability.

His role is cross-functional and five departments report to him directly: Laboratory Services, Biosecurity, Research & Development, Quality Systems, and Environmental Protection & Management.

He was called in at the growth stage of the 250 square kilometres project to drive the company forward while ensuring that sustainability in all areas was further developed and maintained.
