MIKE SMITH APPOINTED MANAGER PREMIER’S FLAGSHIP NOSS ON DART MARINA
5TH JANUARY 2023. Premier Marinas announces the appointment of Mike Smith MBE CMM to the post of Marina Manager at Noss on Dart.
Mike joins Premier from a background in marine, events and hospitality including over 21 years with MDL – most recently as Regional Operations Manager. Mike brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience which he will be able to draw upon as the redevelopment at Noss on Dart enters its next phase.
Phase one of the £75M regeneration project at Noss on Dart is near completion which includes the floating marina, a state-of-the-art full-service boatyard, a dry stack for around 100 small motorboats, a self-store facility and a thriving tenant community offering diverse marine services.
Exceptional customer service is Mike’s priority and he will take great pleasure in bringing the community together to create a real buzz around the new marina. He aims to make Noss one of the best marinas in the country.
In 1994, Mike received the MBE for services to the community having raised significant funds for the RNLI, including five D-class inshore lifeboats. Mike rallied a team through numerous physical challenges across the South West and beyond – cycling, swimming and running – a dream he devised whilst on tour in the gulf.
Mike comments: “I am delighted to join the team at Noss on Dart and the wider Premier Marinas family. Premier Marinas has a collection of the finest marinas in the UK and this one on the stunning River Dart is no exception.”
Phase two of the redevelopment at Noss on Dart will involve the redevelopment of the waterside area – previously home to the Philips building, the original shipbuilders on the site. This development comprises a hotel and spa alongside numerous waterside residential dwellings.
