Falmouth Harbour’s Marine Hub of related operations, working alongside traditional boat storage on the Harbour’s Grove Park waterfront site, aims to make a variety of marine services readily accessible to the wider Falmouth boating community as well as visitors throughout the year.
Matt Pullen, who runs Allspars’ Falmouth branch, said: “The opportunity to relocate our Falmouth operations to the new Marine Hub in Falmouth Harbour was too good to turn down.
“The quayside access will be a huge asset to the business and the services we can offer onsite and this move is a mark of our commitment to provide Falmouth and the wider sailing community with our masts and rigging services. It’s a pleasure to be working alongside a great team at the harbour and we look forward to strengthening our relationship.”
Falmouth Harbour’s head of commercial operations Holly Manvell, added: “Falmouth Harbour is responsible for a huge body of water and a variety of stakeholders and we are very excited to be offering opportunities for marine businesses to work alongside us right in the heart of our historic town.
“For centuries our harbour has been a centre for building, servicing and teaching just about everything ‘marine’, so to help provide facilities, skills and opportunities to continue this legacy is both a privilege and a responsibility for our team. Allspars are renowned for their quality and team spirit, and we are delighted to welcome them as our Marine Hub’s inaugural tenants.”
