Turnchapel Wharf and many local businesses were proud to welcome two Government ministers during July as part of separate visits to the site.
Rebecca Smith MP
The Member of Parliament for South West Devon, Rebecca Smith, returned to Turnchapel Wharf after visiting the site several times before, this time meeting staff from Thales.
Commenting on her visit, Rebecca said via LinkedIn: "...each time I go I am blown away by the opportunities the businesses on site provide for South West Devon and the wider region. There are not just innovative local small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) on site but also global businesses like Thales too."

Director of Maritime for DfT Lola Fadina
The Director of Maritime for the Department for Transport Lola Fadina visited Turnchapel Wharf later in the month, meeting staff and students at SeaRegs Training while on-site, as well as new Turnchapel Wharf tenants ACUA Ocean.
Within Lola's remit is the Maritime Council which drives collaboration between the government and the maritime sector, as well as the Maritime 2050 Strategy which looks at meeting future challenges and opportunities.
Thanks to Richard Allen from the Cattewater Harbour Commissioners (CHC) for organising this visit.
