Pier director Kate Bowden Smith comments, “We are delighted to be expanding our marine PR division and working with such a dynamic business at the heart of the East of England’s marine industry.  Suffolk Yacht Harbour has a vast array of services to offer the yachting community and we intend to maximise awareness, building opportunities through a range of different PR and marketing platforms.”

Jonathan Dyke, managing director of Suffolk Yacht Harbour, adds, “With proven marine PR experience and friendly, professional service, the team at Pier is perfectly placed to help align our communications and raise the profile of Suffolk Yacht Harbour.  We are already seeing the benefits from Pier’s work and look forward to a busy year ahead.”
