SUMMARY:Harry Gregory - Harbour Master Talk 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Work of Poole Harbour Commissioners\n\n  \nPHC’s work towards ensuring safe\, efficient\, enjoyable and environmentally friendly navigation\, and how yacht club members can play their part. \nHarry first discovered a love for the sea aged six when\, on holiday in Cornwall with his family\, he took part in a dinghy sailing taster session. \n“It felt like it was in the middle of a storm\, but in hindsight it was probably quite benign\,” he said. \n“A lot of my family got into sailing as a result of that\, and I gradually progressed from dinghies to yachts then\, eventually to ships.” \nAlong with his parents moving there when he was in his teens\, Harry\, who spent time working in project management for the Royal Navy and the Ministry of Defence\, did much of his training in Poole. \n“I’ve always been attracted to Poole\, and I always hoped to come back here one day.” \nHarry’s new role will see him ensuring the harbour’s Marine Services team and pilots are all operating effectively. \n“In the first instance my aim is to fill Brian’s enormous shoes\, then I’ll work out what might need to be done after that. \n“If I can continue to do what we’re doing at the moment\, while making some small improvements and responding to whatever challenges will inevitably come around the corner next week\, then that’s great.” \nOutside of work Harry spends much of his time with his young family\, but when he gets the chance he has a number of nautical hobbies to keep him busy. \nTo conclude\, Harry said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be here. \n“I’ve had a real connection to Poole for many years and I look forward to meeting the several thousand harbour users that we’ve got and working out whether what we’re doing is up to scratch\, and how we can make the harbour the best it can be!” \nDon’t forget the Restaurant is open so there will be time for a meal before the talk. Make an evening of it. \nBefore you book this or any other event please make sure you are registered\, see here for all Booking System Information\n  \n
