WHITE MILLS MARINA at Earls Barton was delighted to welcome local MP Rt. Hon Stuart Andrew at the weekend.
He visited the family run business on the Nene as part of a constituency fact finding tour.
Ribbon cutting ceremony
Of course, no official visit would be complete without a ribbon cutting ceremony, so White Mills arranged for Stuart to officially mark the start of the Marina’s Phase 3 development by doing the honours and cutting a ribbon.
On completion, Phase 3 will see the creation of a dedicated boaters community hub that will include new showers and toilets as well as a reception area overlooking the marina where boaters can socialise and relax.
Reflecting on his visit Stuart explained:
“It was a real pleasure to visit White Mills and see how busy the boathouse cafe was with lots of people enjoying the sunshine.
"The improvements currently being carried out to the communal spaces at the marina will ensure it continues to benefit visitors for years to come.”
Genuinely interested
Commenting, Marina Manager Georgina Wickham replied:
”It was really lovely of Stuart to come and visit, it was clear he was genuinely interested in finding out more about small, family run, rural businesses like White Mills. Hopefully he will come and see us again once the extension is completed.”
