Many will be aware that just before the weekend a new UK Minister was appointed with the role of Minister for Maritime after the cabinet reshuffle.
Kelly Tolhurst MP of Rochester / Strood, previously a small vessel Surveyor and Director of a Marine paints supplier in the UK has been appointed the position. In 2016 our friends at British Marine interviewed Ms Tolhurst MP which they have re-released this week, they have been kind enough to share this with the Workboat Association:
“In January 2016, British Marine interviewed Kelly Tolhurst MP as part of the British Marine magazine”
