Retirements

Patrick Carey

After 27 years, Patty has decided to retire. He joined Quin-Sea in 1995, just before crab. He was a major advocate for the Avalon Region when licences first came out in area 3L – St. Mary’s to Cape Freels. He was instrumental in helping identify and setup ports and keeping all harvesters updated on the progress. He was also key in helping get the plant in Cape Broyle up and running after the purchase. Patty plans on spending his retirement with family and travelling. We wish you all the best and hope you enjoy retirement to the fullest, it’s well deserved!

Ray has been with the company for 25 years. He began his career back in 1997 and has been procurement supervisor in area 3K – Cape Freels to Cape Onion.  Ray was a key member in developing crab and shrimp quotas in this area. He assisted with setup, port locations, and providing progress updates to harvesters and the public. He played a massive role in supplying Conche, Old Perlican and Long Cove with Pelagics.

We wish you all the best and hope you enjoy retirement to the fullest, it’s certainly well deserved!
