On Monday, November, 4th 2024, we had the pleasure of hosting Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir, Minister of Justice and the lead MP for the South Constituency from the Independence Party in Iceland, Vilhjálmur Árnason, MP for the South Constituency and second on the party’s list for the upcoming election, Gísli Stefánsson, town councilman from Vestmannaeyjar and candidate in fourth place on the list together with Björg Ásta Þórðardóttir, the minister’s political advisor, who resides in Vogar.
Our CEO, Benedikt Hálfdánarson, warmly welcomed them. Axel Fannar Borgarsson the Station Manager of our Incubation Center, along with Guðmundur Benediktsson, Station Manager at Vogavík, guided them through our facilities.
This visit was planned long in advance for the constituency week, as Guðrún has shown a keen interest in our operations and wanted to learn more about them.
Guðrún and Vilhjálmur had visited us before, notably for the official opening of our new Hrognahús ( new incubation center) in August 2022, but this time, we had the opportunity to provide a deeper introduction to our company, our vision for the future, and our outlook on the global future of aquaculture.
We gave them a tour of the Hrognahús and showed them broodstock at various stages in the process. Our guests also gained insight into the important work that takes place every Monday morning, as our staff checks which broodstock is ready for spawning.
It is invaluable to have the opportunity to showcase our operations and provide insight into our work, and we truly appreciate that these key representatives took the time to visit us.
Here are a few photos from the visit with our guests and employees:
