An Exmouth fish and chip shop has received national recognition for being a top place to work.

Krispies, in Exeter Road, has been nominated in the staff training and development category of the National Fish and Chip Awards.

The Exmouth business will now go up against four other businesses in its bid to scoop the top prize.

In the coming weeks, judges will visit Krispies, unannounced, to undertake full reviews of employee training and developmental practices.

They will test the quality of the fish and chips and the level of customer service.

The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony in London in January.

The awards are organised by Seafish and chief executive Marcus Coleman said: “This award recognises fish and chip businesses that go above and beyond in providing their employees with high quality training, while demonstrating commitment to personal development and career progression.”
