UK marina group signs<br />
four-year service contract<br />
International marina consultancy firm, <strong>Marina</strong> Projects, has signed a four-year<br />
service contract with <strong>Marina</strong> Developments Ltd (MDL) for the provisioning of<br />
licensing, project management and technical support for its marina dredging<br />
and capital works programmes.<br />
MDL owns and operates 19 marinas,<br />
predominantly on the south coast of<br />
England.<br />
In addition, it also manages through<br />
an agent two wholly owned subsidiary<br />
businesses: Hythe <strong>Marina</strong> Village Ltd<br />
and Ocean Village <strong>Marina</strong> Management<br />
Company Ltd. Both have a portfolio of<br />
property and marina assets.<br />
The agreement covers the full<br />
portfolio of marina sites, including<br />
those at Hythe and Ocean Village<br />
(Southampton).<br />
Two clearly defined work streams<br />
have been established: support<br />
for the delivery of a dredging<br />
campaign to include licensing and<br />
project management activities; and<br />
Geoff Phillips<br />
Twenty-one years after founding<br />
<strong>Marina</strong> Projects, chairman Geoff<br />
Phillips has announced his<br />
retirement.<br />
Confirming the news, managing<br />
director Mike Ward said: “The<br />
whole of the <strong>Marina</strong> Projects family<br />
wishes Geoff well for his well-earned<br />
retirement. He has played a significant<br />
role in some of our most successful<br />
and substantial projects, with no<br />
better example than Geoff’s vision<br />
and master planning guidance for<br />
Porto Montenegro.”<br />
“Geoff has also been instrumental<br />
in the establishment and delivery of<br />
the lease and operating arrangements<br />
at Whitehaven <strong>Marina</strong> and James<br />
Watt Dock <strong>Marina</strong> and the setting up<br />
Geoff Philipps (second from left) with the<br />
<strong>Marina</strong> Projects team.<br />
programme/project management<br />
support for the delivery of the annual<br />
capital works programme, including<br />
lock shutdowns, infrastructure audit and<br />
pontoon replacement projects across<br />
the various marina developments.<br />
“The framework agreement with MDL<br />
provides both parties with long term<br />
benefits and assures MDL of continuity<br />
and project delivery,” said <strong>Marina</strong><br />
Projects managing director Mike Ward.<br />
“Furthermore, it demonstrates the<br />
breadth of skills and experience that<br />
<strong>Marina</strong> Projects has at its disposal and<br />
the benefits of applying that support<br />
to an organisation with an extensive<br />
marina portfolio such as MDL.”<br />

of the Hong Kong Office. I know that<br />
the team will miss Geoff’s passion for<br />
the industry and our business. He can<br />
be very proud of the contribution he<br />
has made to the marina sector across<br />
a working life largely dedicated to the<br />
industry.”<br />
Geoff Phillips commented: “As we<br />
pass the 21st anniversary of <strong>Marina</strong><br />
Projects, the time has come for me<br />
to move towards retirement and I do<br />
so with an immense feeling of pride<br />
at everything that has been achieved,<br />
and safe in the knowledge that the<br />
company is in good hands and set<br />
fair for the future. The highlights have<br />
been many but above all it has been<br />
the satisfaction that comes from the<br />
establishment of a business that is<br />
well respected within the industry and<br />
where the focus has always been on<br />
the development of a team ethos and<br />
spirit.”<br />
