Where: Nautilus House, Shoreham Port, Nautilus House, 90-100 Albion Street, Southwick, Brighton, BN42 4ED 
Speaker: Tom Rawlins, General Manager, Operations, Shoreham Port

In 1760, the Commissioners of Shoreham Harbour met for the first time in an endeavour to make a new cut to the sea to beat the problem of shingle accumulation. This marked the official founding of the Port and in 2010 the Port celebrated its 250th Anniversary, although it existed as an entry to England since Roman times.

Today, Shoreham is a thriving commercial port on the South Coast of England, with a mission is to provide a first-class service to its customers and to continue to develop the excellent infrastructure and facilities to meet customers’ requirements, in a commercially economic and efficient way. Tom Rawlings will give us the background to Shoreham Port and we will then go on a boat trip (sponsored by MCL Transport Consultants Ltd) around the East Arm where the businesses lining the banks of the East Canal will be pointed out.

It coincides with the 80th anniversary of the Association’s inception in 1944, and includes an ambitious programme of 80 site visits across the UK by Clare, whose aim is to showcase the high tech, fast-moving working environ-ments inside UK’s warehouses.
