Clare Stowell from the Port of Milford Have: Welcoming new tenant Anna Waters to Milford Waterfront

TALENTED local artist Anna Waters has opened a new studio and gallery at Milford Waterfront where she will draw on inspiration from the picturesque surroundings.

Anna is one of the Port of Milford Haven’s newest tenants, having worked with the Quayside Properties team to transform the premises to suit her needs. She is now able to display her artwork which is destined for exhibitions across the country and hold hands-on workshops.

Anna’s paintings are largely inspired by Pembrokeshire’s landscape such as sunsets and sandy beaches and she will often use a variety of techniques across the same canvas in order to best capture the essence of the scene.

Clare Stowell, Property and Development Manager at the Port of Milford Haven, has welcomed Anna to Milford Waterfront.

She said “It’s fantastic to have such a talented artist within our portfolio. We’re keen to have diverse mix of attractions on offer and this studio and gallery will add to the variety of things to do and see on a day out to Milford Haven. We wish Anna every success going forward.”

Anna is delighted with the new location, commenting: “I’m really grateful to the Port of Milford Haven for helping me to get set up. I’m finding that the marina is a really vibrant place to work, full of activity and wonderful light that bounces off the water. It’s a great location for the workshops I host.”

The studio and gallery is located at 1 Victory House, Milford Marina and is generally open most week days, however, opening times do vary in response to Anna’s commissioned work.

If making a specific journey, it’s best to contact Anna on 07789767364 or email [email protected] beforehand. Samples of her work can be viewed online at www.annawaters.co.uk and workshops can be booked by contacting Anna on 07789 767364 or [email protected]

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.
