Milford Haven: New nightclub and pizza restaurant

Published

10 years ago

on

urlA MILFORD HAVEN businessman has this week unveiled ambitious plans to turn the old HSBC bank in Milford Haven into a showpiece nightclub and pizza restaurant in the centre of town.

The former Hamilton Terrace bank, which is a Grade II listed building, was closed in December 2013 after the bank said footfall was down on previous years.

The new nightclub, which is to be called ‘Fire’, will require a significant extension to the rear of the premises.

The man behind the project is 61-year-old Hugo Henricksen.

Mr Henricksen said: “I am pleased to have had a letter from Pembrokeshire County Council agreeing to the change in use for the premises, and the extension, in principle.”

Asked why this would be a successful business when so many clubs are closing, Mr Henricksen told The Herald: “This club is going to be different from all the other clubs in the area, being very hi-tech indeed. The club will more video and laser show orientated than other clubs in Wales.

He added: “Over the last thirteen years I have been assisting and building twelve different nightclubs in Cardiff and therefore I feel I know what is appreciated by the public.”

When asked about the time scale he said: “As with anything in Wales, it all depends on the ‘building weather’. I am aiming for the middle of next year, however, the job is going to be done right and will not be opened until everyone is satisfied. There will be no wet paint or carpet fitters creeping out the back door.”

The land and gardens at the rear of the nightclub, which will have an expected capacity of 250 people, has already been cleared and terraced.

The nightclub will have a large garden at the rear of the premises for smokers.

In regard to entertainment, the club will feature mainly modern dance music.

The ground floor will feature a pizza parlour with both seating and take away, called ‘Pizza-Excess’.

Mr Henricksen said: “Due to my retirement I will not be running the club or pizza shop myself, my enjoyment will be in the design and building of the place.  These days I like to go bed early and I have more of a long term interest in working on classic cars.”

    No mention of his sexual contact with 13 year old girls? Doesn’t he also own the building that The Herald operates from? Bit of a conflict of interest?

Sixth-former firefighter balances schoolwork with saving lives

Published

36 minutes ago

on

May 6, 2026

By

When the alerter sounds, 18-year-old Bobi Jones swaps his school for his local fire station, serving as one of Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service’s (MAWWFRS) youngest On-Call Firefighters.

He responds to incidents in his own time and has been granted special permission by his school, Ysgol Bro Teifi to leave free periods whenever an emergency call comes in.


Bobi applied to become an on-call firefighter shortly before his 18th birthday and follows in the footsteps of his brother, father, uncle and grandfather, marking three generations of firefighters and over 75 years of combined service. His family’s legacy reflects the strong community roots and sense of duty that have underpinned MAWWFRS for three decades.


Having spent time around his local fire station and the fire and rescue service from a young age, Bobi was keen to join the service. With an upcoming point of entry test, he applied as soon as he was eligible.


After completing his initial training, Bobi joined the crew at Newcastle Emlyn Fire Station in November 2025 and has enjoyed responding to incidents while further building his skills and knowledge. One standout incident was a fire at a local gym where he was involved in rolling out hoses and establishing safety lines.


As well as following in his family’s footsteps, Bobi says he joined MAWWFRS as he wanted to support his local community, which he has found really rewarding. Alongside his operational role and playing for Newcastle Emlyn Rugby Club, Bobi is studying A-Level Business and Sport and plans to start an electrician apprenticeship after finishing school, with a long-term goal of becoming a Wholetime Firefighter.


Talking about balancing his role as an on-call firefighter with life as a sixth-form pupil at Ysgol Bro Teifi in Llandysul, Bobi said:
“There’s a good crew here at Newcastle Emlyn Station, which includes members of my family. We all support each other and there’s great camaraderie here.”


Asked what advice he would give to anyone considering becoming an on-call firefighter, Bobi added:
“I would say absolutely go for it, the availability options are flexible enough to suit everyone and the Service is always recruiting for more on-call firefighters.”


Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service is currently recruiting for on-call firefighters who, like Bobi, remain an essential part in protecting communities.
The role of an on-call Firefighter provides many opportunities for personal and professional development, through training, teamwork, leadership and problem solving. On-call firefighters receive payment for their services, including retainer fees and call-out payments, supplementing their income from other employment.

Rescue bid planned for lambs stranded below Stack Rocks cliffs

Tree surgeon preparing 150ft descent after live firing delayed rescue attempt

A MAJOR rescue operation is being planned this afternoon to reach two lambs stranded below the cliffs at Stack Rocks.

Local tree surgeon Callum Jones is preparing to descend around 150ft using rigging and harnesses in a last-ditch attempt to bring the animals to safety.

The lambs, believed to be this year’s stock and less than 12 months old, have been stranded below the cliffs for more than 24 hours.

Their rescue has been complicated by live firing at Castlemartin Range during daylight hours. Concern had grown on Tuesday as the tide rose, but there have since been unconfirmed reports that the animals survived the night.

The Herald understands that firing at the range is due to finish at 4:30pm today (Wednesday, May 6), allowing the rescue attempt to go ahead.

Callum, of Mighty Oaks Tree Care, told The Pembrokeshire Herald: “It’s going to be difficult, but when you’re in this profession, every job is difficult in its individual way.

“My plan is to try and get my jeep down, as this will make it much easier to rig off the vehicle and get down the cliff.

“Obviously I’ll have multiple ropes to back myself up, and if all goes well, I’m hoping to use a haulage system to bring the lambs up.

“If I can’t get them inside a harness, then I’ll have to get them up in a ton bag.”

Callum will be supported by two members of his Mighty Oaks Tree Care team.

He added: “They’re exceptionally competent lads who are used to rigging up difficult things, so rescuing the lambs from Stack Rocks shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

“As soon as I found out about the lambs’ situation, I knew I had to do as much as possible to try and save them.

“Their plight has prompted so much concern throughout the county, and we’re determined to do everything we can to get them back to dry land.”

The coastguard has urged members of the public to stay back from the cliff edge and not to attempt to look down at the animals.

Meanwhile the RSPCA said they would not help. In a statement sent to The Herald they said: “We need to focus our dedicated frontline officers where they can help as many animals as possible, so we have made the difficult decision to cease our sea boat and rope rescue operations.

“These teams have done some amazing work over the years but the reality is we deploy these services very infrequently and they are very time and resource intensive.

“After careful consideration, we decided the considerable costs of training staff and maintaining equipment for this service, at a time when there are unprecedented demands on our services, can be better redeployed into other areas of our work.”

HM Coastguard attempted to rescue the animals on Tuesday (May 5), but were unable to complete the rescue due to live firing exercises.

The RNLI were also contacted.

Hands-on sessions will give potential recruits a taste of life in the fire service

PEOPLE interested in becoming firefighters are being invited to take part in special Firefighter Experience Days being held by Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service this June.

The events will take place at Haverfordwest Fire Station on Wednesday, June 3, and at Newtown Fire Station on Friday, June 5. Both sessions will run from 10:00am until 1:00pm.

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, which covers almost two-thirds of Wales, says the days are designed to give people a practical introduction to life in the fire service in a relaxed and informal setting.

Around 75 per cent of the service’s fire stations are crewed entirely by on-call firefighters, who play a vital role in protecting communities across the region.

Visitors attending the experience days will have the opportunity to try on firefighting kit, learn how equipment is assembled, and take part in practical exercises alongside serving crews.

Firefighters from both stations will also be on hand to explain the realities of the role, answer questions, and offer guidance on the recruitment process.

Topics covered during the sessions will include the modern role of a firefighter, fitness requirements, personal protective equipment, career pathways within the service, and what applicants can expect during recruitment.

Booking is essential for anyone wishing to attend.

Further information can be obtained by contacting Lily Evans, Digital Marketing Officer for Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, by emailing [email protected].
