Caley’s isn’t just a seafood business. It’s a family saga spanning decades. It began in 1975 with Billy Caley a young fisherman with a dream. He wasn’t just any fisherman. Billy’s ambition propelled him from crew member to skipper. By 1982 he owned his own boat. His family’s legacy was just beginning.
Years at sea taught Billy invaluable lessons. He knew the ocean. He knew his trade. In 1998 Billy made a bold move. He left the open water to manage his growing fleet. His experience as a skipper made it possible. He expanded. He added four more fishing boats to his operation.
The next step was even bigger. In 1999 he started W & K Caley & Sons a small processing company. This wasn’t just about profit. It was about ensuring the best quality control. It was about preserving Caley’s reputation. Within four years their business had outgrown its facilities. They upgraded to a bigger space complying with all European regulations.
