We are delighted to announce the appointment of Ben Boardman to Marina Manager at Port Solent.
Ben joins Premier with almost 20 years in the marina industry, working across locations in Plymouth, Hythe and Hamble before joining Premier at Gosport in 2018. In 2020, Ben then took a leadership position within the Trafalgar Group at Thornham Marina and now brings the knowledge and experience gained as Manager to his role here at Port Solent.

Ben has always been a part of the sailing and boating community, from dinghy sailing to boat cruising in the UK and abroad and now enjoys sailing with his wife and two children around the Solent, alongside competing in running, biking and triathlons.
A message from Ben Boardman:
"I’m looking forward to leading a vibrant, customer focused marina that reflects the highest standards of safety and service. I’m passionate about the marine environment and committed to delivering an exceptional experience to customers, visitors and commercial partners alike. This role I see as an opportunity to bring my operational and commercial experience, as well as growing professionally in a dynamic and challenging environment. I’m motivated to build on Port Solent's reputation as a premium South Coast destination."
We are sure you will join us in giving Ben a warm welcome to Premier Port Solent as he takes the helm with the exceptional support of our Duty Managers, Tory Hackman and Holly Jefkins.
