This month we talk about the importance of keeping a good look out on the water, introduce you to CHC's newest member of the team, publicise the winter operating times for the fuel berth and water taxi service, feature a Tale of Two Helens, and we profile CHC's Commercial Services team and Rob Kitcher from Island Wide Marine. I cannot believe
how quickly the past 8 months has gone since I joined the CHC team. So much
has happened in that time both inside and outside of the organisation but I
have enjoyed every minute of it.
So how did my
first ‘season’ in Cowes go? The spilt of responsibilities between CEO
and Harbour Master has worked very well and enabled both me and Ed Walker
(Harbour Master) to work to our strengths. As a consequence, and with the
support of a great team, Shepards Marina and our moorings have been very busy,
the Cowes Harbour Services team has picked up a variety of new contracts
and a number of improvements have been made at Kingston Boatyard.
I am therefore
pleased that such good progress has been made in a year when we are still
recovering from the Covid pandemic. Judging from the amount of positive
feedback we have received; this has not gone unnoticed by our customers
either.
As I write, our
team at Kingston are gearing up for a busy winter as boat owners have
already started to book their boats in for the maintenance tasks they have
planned, and the team at Shepards Marina are busy taking bookings for
winter berths. Full details on the services we are able to offer can be
found later in this newsletter but the key message from me is to book now
so you don’t miss the boat (pun intended).
