In south Wales, the Port of Milford Haven is to host two Annual Stakeholder Meetings this year so to update members of the community on its latest developments and listen to feedback from the public.

Tom Sawyer, the Port’s new Chief Executive who joined in April, along with Chair, Chris Martin, will provide an overview on the organisation’s performance and vision, as well as updates on projects such as Pembroke Dock Marine, Milford Waterfront and its core business - servicing shipping on the Waterway.

Tom commented “I’m looking forward to meeting our stakeholders, many of whom I won’t have come across yet, in Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven. The sessions are a chance for the public to hear about what has been happening at the Port over the past year as we start to recover from the effects of Covid, but also about how our plans for future growth are progressing.”

He continued “One area I’d welcome feedback on is how we can do more to help our local community in a time when the cost of living is increasing and having a huge impact on peoples’ daily lives. We want to help where we can and understanding the extent of the problem is the first step towards addressing this.”

The events take place on:

Thursday 28th July at the Pater Hall, Pembroke Dock, 4.30-6.30pm

Friday 29th July at the Pill Social Centre, Milford Haven, 3-5pm

To register please email: [email protected] or call 01646 696100 and specify which date you would prefer, along with any questions you would like to ask the team.

There will also be an opportunity to join the meetings online (visit: www.mhpa.co.uk/ASM for more details).
