Reflecting how the Port and its community are pulling in the same direction, the well-attended event focused on how the community wants to see Dover as a magnet for investment and how the Port can support that vision by attracting inward investment through DWDR.

In a positively charged room, the Port was delighted to welcome many new faces, showing how the project is gaining interest and momentum.

Tim Waggott, Chief Executive, Port of Dover, said:

“We are starting to see people come towards us as a positive force for investment, regeneration and job creation in Dover.  The message is out that we are delivering for Dover and our shared vision is one that is going to become a reality.

“The Port is becoming a magnet, drawing its community towards it as we work to create the Port of the future that in turn will help support the regeneration of Dover.  Our shared belief and desire to succeed is becoming a reality alongside the delivery of the project itself.  A great message for Dover!”

The next opportunity to share in the vision and progress being made on DWDR will be on Monday 18th May at the Port’s public Annual Consultative Meeting being held at Cruise Terminal 1.  Doors open at 5pm.
