Happy Anniversary to us!

Yesterday, 7th July, we celebrated four years since we took over Penzance Dry Dock, and what a journey it's been so far!

Thank you to all those that have supported us so far, partnered with us and believed in our vision for the facility and the wider industry here in Penzance and beyond. We wouldn't be where we are today without the belief, investment and support of so many.

We're just at the beginning, but here's some highlights from the last four years....

- We secured the dry dock facility itself, completing on the freehold and then began by stabilising the entire footprint with 134 piles, 110 tonnes of steel and 4,000 tonnes of concrete.

- The quay walls of the dry dock have been re-pointed, a whole new pumping system has been fitted and we overhauled the dry dock gates.

- We raised over £5.3m investment, including more than £2m from Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Good Growth Programme funded by the government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

- The team won and delivered the first MOD contract for 30 years.

- We started an apprenticeship programme thanks to our training partner Cornwall Marine Network

- Penzance Dry Dock is now an internationally registered port, which allows us to accommodate foreign vessels.

- We'll soon be one of the only facilities in the UK to offer shipbuilding alongside ship repairs in the small to medium sized market.

Here's to the next chapter!
