The impact we have
We recognise that our activities generate significant, sustainable benefits to Pembrokeshire, Wales and the UK, and we are passionate about delivering prosperity. This is about more than creating a healthy economy, it is also about making this a place where the community has access to rewarding careers, that is culturally rich and where we all feel empowered to make a positive contribution to our natural environment.
Over 4,000 Pembrokeshire jobs are supported by the activities taking place on the Milford Haven Waterway. Our vision aims to safeguard those jobs and generate new opportunities for the people and businesses in Pembrokeshire.
We are anchored in Pembrokeshire, invested in our future and immersed in our community. And we are proud to be in this unique position, delivering sustainable prosperity through integrated business and community action.
