Premier buys<br />
leading drystack<br />
UK: The Trafalgar Group has sold its Trafalgar Wharf site in Portsmouth<br />
Harbour, Hampshire to Premier <strong>Marina</strong>s for an undisclosed sum. The property<br />
includes Europe’s largest covered drystack storage facility and a significant<br />
commercial shipyard that provides bespoke maintenance programmes for<br />
commercial vessels and private yachts.<br />
The wider Trafalgar Wharf site is a<br />
hub for a wide range of marine and<br />
non-marine businesses and will now<br />
be known as Premier Trafalgar Wharf.<br />
Other Trafalgar Group businesses,<br />
including Boat Club Trafalgar and<br />
Thornham <strong>Marina</strong>, are not included in<br />
the sale and will continue to operate as<br />
usual.<br />
All of the existing operations team<br />
at Trafalgar Wharf will be retained and<br />
transferred to Premier <strong>Marina</strong>s as part<br />
of the sale agreement.<br />
Premier <strong>Marina</strong>s CEO, Pete<br />
Bradshaw, said: “We’re delighted to<br />
add the Trafalgar Wharf site to the<br />
Premier portfolio and welcome new<br />
team members into our family. The<br />
acquisition marks yet another milestone<br />
for Premier as we continue to invest<br />
and grow our business. Trafalgar Wharf<br />
adds new capabilities to our group<br />
and we’re confident that we will be<br />
able to combine the knowledge of the<br />
existing team and our wider operational<br />
experience to further enhance the site<br />
and operations.”<br />
Jonny Boys, managing director of The<br />
Trafalgar Group, added: “We’re all about<br />
doing things differently and putting our<br />
customers first. We’re delighted to be<br />
handing the reins to Premier <strong>Marina</strong>s<br />
who share our vision to create fantastic<br />
boating and waterside experiences.”<br />
