The event took place outside Aspire Boat Chandlery, who were hosting a charity pop-up tea, coffee and cake station an se in re acement ares

The RNLI was also on hand – inspecting 95 lifejackets in total.

The In Our Element rowing team were at the event ahead of their Atlantic rowing challenge in December.

THE CHANGING FACE OF MARINAS

The marine industry is buoyant, with more boats being sold, near-full marinas and new, more sustainable propulsion technology emerging. Following the acquisition of Universal Marinas in the summer of 2021, Premier Marinas is a central part of that story, with a range of job roles and career options on off er for those excited to gain a foothold in this thriving sector.

Along-time supporter of the Investors in People Scheme, Premier provides a structured learning environment for all its employees through the Premier Marinas Academy – its online training portal. Modules are designed to complement on the job training and equip new staff members with the core knowledge and skills to deliver fi rst-class customer service across its 10 South Coast marinas. Leadership modules also support the development of aspiring managers and a ‘Learning Champions’ initiative nurtures staff members keen to become trainers and specialists in their fi eld.

Premier enjoys strong employee loyalty with many staff boasting long service including a number achieving 25+ year anniversaries. The business has continued to develop a variety of staff benefi ts including pensions and private healthcare, free staff berthing for boats, fl exible leave with 25 days holiday and the option to buy or sell leave, access to online GP services and a discretionary bonus, to name just a few.

Moving on up Peter Pring, who began his career at Port Solent in a summer role 12 years ago, is now Marina Manager at Southsea Marina having worked his way up through the ranks, gaining management experience at Gosport, Swanwick and Eastbourne marinas.

He has always felt that Premier has empowered and encouraged him to succeed: “After working as a Marina Administrator at Port Solent Marina for a few years, I met with our Chief Executive, Pete Bradshaw, and discussed my career aspirations. Shortly after, I was offered a position on the management team at Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne. Today, I am the Marina Manager at Southsea Marina, a Chartered Manager and member of the Chartered Management Institute.”

Hollie Luff CMM, Business Systems Manager at Premier Marinas, has worked across many Premier marinas over the course of her 20-year career with the business: “I began working at Premier in 2002 for a summer season while pursuing my degree in Adventure Education at the University of Chichester. After working in administrative and operational roles at Port Solent, I was promoted to my fi rst management position at Chichester Marina in 2010 and went on to take similar management positions at three other Premier marinas.

“In 2016, I was asked to join Premier’s central management team in a newly created role to oversee the deployment and support of the company’s key business systems. Premier has been great in offering me opportunities to progress.”

Premier is embracing technology to help its staff manage day-to-day operations and administration whilst at the same time being more focused on customers. The Premier mobile app has been developed to allow customers to manage details of their berthing in their own time, book boatyard services, alert staff to maintenance issues and signal their marina departure and return to help marina staff monitor berth availability. A newly appointed Learning and Development Manager will also spearhead several new initiatives.

Creating opportunities As well as developing existing staff, Premier is also keen to increase awareness of the wide range of exciting opportunities available to those starting their careers. It sees this as critical to help attract the future talent needed to help develop the wider marine industry.

Lewis Watkins is now in his fourth year of a Princess Yachts apprenticeship at South Devon College and hopes to continue his education with a degree apprenticeship in Product Design and Development.

Lee explained: “My grandfather worked as a dockworker in Plymouth, and my father undertook an apprenticeship in GRP with Princess Yachts. I started out doing a carpentry course in City College, Plymouth, which evolved into boat building. My apprenticeship is intense, but I enjoy it; it is different with some people coming from as far away as Essex to participate in the course.”

Premier is working in partnership with South Devon College’s Marine Academy, which opened a brand-new facility last month at Premier’s redeveloped Noss on Dart Marina. Students aged 14 and up can now enrol in marine courses at the academy, which also offers a wide range of further education including apprenticeships, short courses and degree-level study.

A new foundation degree focused on maritime leadership was also recently launched, preparing students for work at sea on commercial vessels or in a management role ashore.

Premier’s own scheme Premier Marinas has used the opening of the new Marine Academy to re-launch its own apprenticeship scheme, which will support the creation of 10 new full-time positions across its marina portfolio. The Level 2 Marinas and Boatyards two-year apprenticeship offers training in a range of marina and boatyard operations, safety legislation, customer service, marina maintenance and environmental good practice.

“South Devon College Marine Academy is delighted to be working with Premier Marinas again for the delivery of a second wave of Marina and Boatyards apprenticeships at each of their marinas. This apprenticeship is a great opportunity to learn from one of the best operators in the business, and for anyone who would enjoy working with boats, being on the water and outdoors in a busy marina environment,” said Paul Singer, Business and Qualifi cation Development Coordinator at South Devon College Marine Academy.

“We are privileged to be at the heart of such a dynamic sector and with South Devon College’s Marine Academy now operating at Noss on Dart, we are delighted to be supporting further job creation and inspiring the next generation,” added Tracey Jefkins, Premier Marinas’ Head of HR.
