PORTLAND, Maine — Darrell Pardy isn’t afraid to think big.
He and his business partner, Ray Swenton, have already grown their company, Bristol Seafood Inc., into one of the largest seafood processors in Maine. From its facility on Portland’s waterfront, the company employs 75 people and does $40 million a year in business.
But Pardy, Bristol’s CEO, thinks they could at least double that, if not more, in the next several years and become an international player in the seafood market. It’s doable, Pardy says, but requires additional capital, as well as some top-shelf business expertise.
In early January, Pardy and Swenton signed a deal with a new equity investor from Silicon Valley who brings both to the company.
