A new manager has taken the helm at Brighton Marina.

Andrew Collumbell has been appointed marina manager after a year as manager at Chichester Marina.

The 39-year-old qualified as a boatyard fitter in 1982 after serving a three-year apprenticeship on the Shropshire Union canal.

He said: "I am delighted to be the manager of the largest marina in the United Kingdom. I am pleased to be heading such an exciting project."

The marina has more than 1,300 berths and is undergoing a huge refurbishment programme.
