Simone Morgan, Marina Manager said: ‘We are really looking forward to welcoming berth holders and visitors – both by water and by foot – to the marina.

‘The new office looks fantastic and makes our jobs much easier, and the signage provides a great welcome to everyone using the site. It should be a fun day.’
