A reminder that the next meeting of the Chartered Institute of Transport is at Bournemouth University at 18.45 on Wednesday  22 February.

We are delighted to be joined by Jim Stewart CEO of Poole Harbour Commissioners, who has taken time out of his busy schedule to address the Institute.

Staff and students are most welcome to attend. I am sure this will be valuable for students. The Port has invested heavily in developing now opportunities including dredging and new Quays to enable the port to handle larger ships.  Attracting  larger and more cruise ship visits and developing the Ferry services from the port are both important components of the strategy – so there will be a tourism component in this presentation.

The meeting is taking place in KG 03 and staff and students are most welcome – indeed encouraged to attend.

Please feel free to forward this invitation to any students you feel would benefit from attending

No need to book – just come along and there will also be a light buffet served after the presentation.
