ON the 20th anniversary of James Nutley’s disappearance, a new age-progression image has been released, offering hope to his family and renewing the search for the Pembrokeshire man.

James was last seen on October 24, 2004, in Tenby, following a night out at the Prince of Wales pub during a golfing trip with friends. CCTV captured him walking towards the Giltar Hotel at 11:57pm, but he never arrived. The following day, his driving licence and other cards were discovered on Tenby’s South Beach.

Now aged 45, Mr. Nutley was just 25 when he vanished. His family has worked closely with the Missing People charity and forensic artist Tim Widden to create an image of how he might look today. They hope this updated image will encourage new leads or sightings.

Mr. Nutley is described as being 6ft 2in tall, with blue eyes and brown hair. On the night he disappeared, he was wearing a white top with blue sleeves and blue jeans.

Family’s enduring hope

The family’s ongoing search for answers continues, and they hope the image will reach those who might recognize him. They encourage the public to visit Mr. Nutley’s appeal page on the Missing People website, where they can report sightings, download posters, and share his story across social media.

Ndella Senghore, publicity officer for Missing People, appealed directly to Mr. Nutley: “James, if you are reading this, please reach out. Call us on 116 000 or email [email protected]. Our service is non-judgemental, confidential, and free. We just want to help you stay safe and provide the support you need.”

Supporting families in need

The Missing People charity, the only one of its kind in the UK, supports families searching for the nearly 170,000 children and adults who go missing each year. Their confidential helpline at 116 000 is available around the clock for those thinking of going missing and for families left behind.

A person is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK, and Missing People is there to help—whether through support services, online resources, or anonymous reporting.

As the family marks 20 years without answers, their hope endures. They ask anyone with information about James to come forward, in the belief that even the smallest clue could make a difference.

Fire service delivers vital kit to Ukraine

Wales joins UK’s largest firefighting aid convoy

MID and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service (MAWWFRS) has taken part in the UK’s largest ever convoy delivering vital firefighting equipment to Ukraine, joining 17 other Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) from across the country.

The convoy, coordinated by FIRE AID and supported by the UK Government, left the UK in early April. It travelled through France, Germany and Poland, delivering over 30 fire service vehicles and more than 15,000 items of equipment to support Ukrainian firefighters on the front line of the ongoing war.

Since the Russian invasion in 2022, UK fire services have donated 119 vehicles and over 200,000 pieces of equipment to Ukraine. Each participating service ensured local needs were met before donating surplus kit.

Watch Manager Rob Kershaw represented MAWWFRS on the convoy. He said:
“It’s been a privilege to be part of this convoy and to represent both FIRE AID and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
We received invaluable support and assistance from fire and police services across every country we passed through. Their help in coordinating, escorting, and hosting the convoy was outstanding.”

Chief Fire Officer Roger Thomas KFSM added:
“MAWWFRS is proud to support our colleagues in Ukraine by donating and delivering essential equipment.
The events in Ukraine have deeply affected the fire and rescue community, and this convoy is a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to helping those still working under extreme conditions.”

The donated equipment will support firefighters in Ukraine who continue to operate in war zones to save lives and protect property—often at great personal risk. Since the conflict began, 100 Ukrainian firefighters have been killed and 431 injured. A total of 411 fire stations and 1,700 firefighting vehicles have been destroyed.
