Marine South East MareNet Event - Strategic Waterfront Sites, Thursday 13th November 2008
Portchester
Always a highly topical and relevant subject, Strategic Waterfront Sites will be the topic for the November MareNet event. It is being partnered by SEEDA and will take place at the former VT Porchester site recently renamed Trafalgar Wharf at Hamilton Road in Portsmouth. The event will take place on Thursday 13th November and will start at 3.00pm with a full tour of the facilities at Trafalgar Wharf.
Trafalgar Wharf will be kindly hosting the event and providing refreshments as well as this unique opportunity to view this formerly restricted access site which is now being opened up for marine use.
The tour of the site will begin promptly at 3.00pm from the car park with registration for the MareNet event starting at 4.00pm and presentations starting promptly at 4.15pm; the event will conclude with a networking reception which will finish at 6.30pm.
Speakers at the event will include:
- Peter Cusdin, Developments Projects Director SEEDA talking about a number of strategic waterfront sites including Daedalus, Marchwood, East Cowes and Hythe Marine Park
- Andy Green, from Trafalgar Wharf will outline some of the past history of the site; their vision for the future of the site as well as opportunities for marine companies at Trafalgar Wharf. Andy will also talk about their experience of developing the Thornham Marina site in Emsworth.
- Jonathan Williams, CEO of Marine South East will lead a facilitated discussion on how strategic waterfront sites should best be identified, secured and made available to marine businesses in future.
- There will also be a case study on the benefits of co-locating with other marine companies at waterfront sites
This is likely to be a popular event and we therefore ask that only one delegate per company attend the event. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
