Members of the public are invited to attend the Port of Milford Haven’s Annual Stakeholder Meetings that are taking place at the end of this month to hear about progress over the past twelve months and development plans for the future.
Stakeholders will hear from our Chair Chris Martin and our Chief Executive Tom Sawyer, along with other members of staff, as well as organisations and individuals that the Port regularly collaborates with.
By striving to meet our clients' needs, 2022 was an exceptional year for the Port of Milford Haven with profits increasing from £1.5m in 2021 to £3.3m. Attendees will be able to hear how this success was achieved and listen to updates on key developments such as the £60m Pembroke Dock Marine project which is currently transforming Pembroke Port into a centre of excellence for the marine renewables industry.
Tom Sawyer is looking forward to the opportunity to talk to stakeholders, commenting:
“Since joining the Port just over a year ago, I’ve met with a broad range of businesses, public bodies and members of the local community who all have different interests and needs. Our Annual Stakeholder Meetings are a great chance to provide an overview of everything we have achieved over the past twelve months and offer an insight into what’s planned for the future.”
The meetings take place on:
Thursday 25th May at the Bridge Innovation Centre, Pembroke Dock, 2.30-5pm
Friday 26th May at the Torch Theatre, Milford Haven, 2.30-5pm
As part of the meetings there will be a Q&A session. If anyone would like to submit questions in advance, please email prdepartment@mhpa.co.uk

Notes to Editors:
Port of Milford Haven
The Port of Milford Haven is the UK’s top energy port and Wales’ busiest port handling around 20% of Britain’s seaborne trade in oil and gas. It is widely recognised in the industry as the energy capital of the UK.
The Port, along with the cluster of energy-related businesses along the Waterway, is a key driver of economic activity in Pembrokeshire, attracting inward investment and supporting over 4,000 jobs.
The Port of Milford Haven also owns and operates Pembroke Port and Milford Waterfront. Activities such as cargo handling, ferry operations, fish landing and cruise calls as well as a first class marina are spread across these two sites.
One of the most prominent on the West Coast, the Port is in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the only Coastal National Park in Great Britain. It is marked as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and has many areas designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The Port of Milford Haven is a trust port – an independent, commercially run organisation that has statutory responsibilities governed by its Acts, to maintain and improve navigation and the provision of Port and Harbour services and facilities. Additionally, the Port provides significant financial and in-kind support to a wide variety of local causes. All profits are retained within the business to fund these objectives.
