Entering MDL’s Win a Free Berth competition online last year, the winner has just been noti ed of his fantastic win. “I am over the moon,” says Mr Phillips. “Not only do I get a free berth, it gives me the opportunity to move my boat closer to the Solent, where most of my boating is done.” Having started boating ten years ago while living in Surrey, Mr Phillips and his family subsequently moved closer to the south coast. Passionate about being on the water the family, with the occasional friend in tow, spend many days onboard their 29 motor cruiser visiting Priory Bay on the IOW to enjoy lunch while at anchor. Currently mooring his powerboat in Chichester Harbour, Mr Phillips is delighted to be moving to an MDL marina. “Not only are the locations of MDL’s marinas perfect for boating in the Solent, they have fuel too,’ continues Mr Phillips. “They’ve also got a great choice of other marinas for occasional overnight berthing”. “We are delighted to welcome Mr Phillips to the MDL family,” says Maxine Lane, MDL’s Head of Marketing. We hope that he enjoys his time with us at Northney Marina and makes the most of all the Freedom Berthing benefits that come with his new berth.” Northney Marina is a Five Gold Anchor marina situated on the north shore of Hayling Island. Within easy reach of historic Portsmouth and the Solent, Mr Phillips and his family will be able to enjoy many days out on the water and stay at MDL’s marinas in the River Hamble, Southampton and further a eld for free with MDL’s Freedom Berthing.

As part of the OP-REGEN project, Walking With e Wounded are working with the Global Production Squad (GPS), providing ex-servicemen and women to work on the front lines to assist those a ected by COVID-19, including supporting the NHS at NHS Nightingale, London. Using the skills, they acquired in the military – planning, logistics, coordination and communication – the ex-army involved with the project will work alongside local businesses, councils, schools and individuals to regenerate their communities: empowering them to regain their organisation, WWTW puts ex-military at the heart of everything we do. Sometimes leaving your military brothers and sisters behind can feel like being a lion who has lost his pride in more ways than one. But, when we are able to return them to their pride and purpose, ex-military more often than not regain their ambition, drive and reason to be the difference they were trained to be. Many will find new purpose through employment, but volunteering can also be an effective means of meeting new people, reducing social isolation and discovering activities that increase wellbeing and may lead to employment opportunities.” rough hiring ex-military sta , GPS has an advantage of a highly disciplined, hard-working and motivated workforce.
