Matt writes….I’m very pleased to have joined the board of Marine South East, the organisation funded in part by SEEDA (South East of England Development Agency) which has the task of tackling the critical issues affecting marine businesses in the region and supporting the economic development of the marine sector in the South East. As part of that role I will also chair the organisation’s PR and networking committee.
The role isn’t too onerous and it brings with it a great opportunity to get involved in the broader issues that effect the marine industry – both commercial and leisure – in the south east, and to meet many of the people involved. Key issues that MSE focuses on include training, innovation, development of clusters and raising the industry’s profile with the government. Hopefully we’ll be able to apply our communications skills to help get the organisation’s message across to the industry and its many stakeholders.
