Sad News

There is a lot of things happening in Coastguard World and this will come out in the next few weeks, however one bit of news we need to tell you about is that our boss "Pip Hall" is leaving us next week to move to Devon.

Pip (pictured above showing us how to walk like a robot" has been the East Dorset Sector Manager for 6 years, during which he has been a driving force moving the Coastguard into the modern world!
His support in getting our new station was super and he has always been at the end of the phone for us when we needed support. Life can not be easy for a lonely Sector Manager, having to tow the party line and present the details to 48 Coastguard Rescue Officer who all know better could never be easy, yet Pip carried this out to full (usually food helped soften the blow).

So I hope everyone will join us in thanking Pip for his time in our area, East Dorset is losing a very skilled manager, East Devon is gaining one.
