Meet the Channel team...

Martin Purnell 
Director/Sales Consultant

Martin co-founded Channel Fisheries in 1981. With a background in sales and a desire to continue living in his hometown of Brixham the company was set up and became  one of the first to offer chefs in the South West of England a direct coastal supply.

Today, Martin can still be found at Brixham market most mornings helping to select the  very best of the catch each day.   

Martin’s customers are predominantly high end restaurants, clubs, food halls and boutique hotels.
