Berthon News – July
July 15th, 2022
Summer has arrived! We hope you have already enjoyed plenty of time on the water, and we are keeping our fingers crossed that the weather will afford us some long glorious summer days over the coming weeks and months.
Here’s a quick update on what has been happening at Berthon this year.
Devoted Dave retires after nearly 50 years at Berthon
Dave Street started at Berthon on the 4th of September 1972 and has decided to retire after nearly 50 years of continuous service.
Dave joined as an engineering apprentice and vividly remembered the older engineers thinking, “I won’t be working here when I’m that age”. Little did he know that he would make many life-long friends along the way with his gentle, kind and warm character.
Music on the Marina is back for the third year running, and we can’t wait! If you are a berth holder or visiting yacht we hope you can join us – everyone who attends has a ball!

BERTHON BOATYARD
New Hoist for the Boatyard
As part of Brian and Dominic’s strategy of continually reinvesting into the business, a new 75-tonne travel hoist is now in operation on the site. Ensuring our equipment is reliable and up to date allows us to continue providing the best service possible and protects the future of Berthon and its staff.
