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).

About MGM Boats

MGM Boats is one of Ireland's leading boat brokers now operating internationally as well as throughout Ireland. MGM Boats was founded in 1997 by brothers Martin and Gerry Salmon who were previously worked as a carpenter, joiner and glass fibre laminator in the 1980s. Martin progressed to boat retailing in the late 1980s and Gerry was a service manager in the 1990s. From these many years of experience, MGM Boats was founded in 1997. It started out as a service, maintenance and repairs company based in Malahide, Co. Dublin.

The company grew in 1998 when the Aquador dealership was acquired. Starting as they meant to go on, in 2001 MGM became distributors for Jeanneau Motorboats and Yachts and also opened its second office in Belfast. MGM had begun to create what would be an international and acclaimed brokerage company.

In 2003, MGM Boats moved to Dun Laoghaire Harbour, Co. Dublin. The large office space and yard expanded the service department and paved the way for MGM to acquire the dealership for Sunseeker in Ireland in 2003.

From then, MGM built up its brokerage listings and in 2009 it opened its office in Hamble, UK. This has led to many years of MGM being present at all major UK boat shows, and each year growing their presence and listings.

The success of MGM's brokerage listings spread internationally, leading in 2012 to 2 new offices being opened in the Mediterranean - in Villamoura, Portugal and Mallorca, Spain. The now international brand and team throughout these years received many awards for their enterprising spirit, customer service and international presence, including winning Sunseeker Distributor of the Year in 2007, 2009 and 2011.

This also led to a new Irish office being opened in Kinsale, Co. Cork increasing their presence within Ireland as well as abroad.
