MP of West Dorset talks about work of Women in Boatbuilding in Westminster debate

Huge thanks to Edward Morello, MP of West Dorset for flying the Women in Boatbuilding flag in Westminster yesterday. The debate around 'Shipyards and economic growth' was largely focused on naval and commercial shipyards, but leisure boatbuilding makes up 14% of the industry, and deserves a voice too in these debates.

Edward spoke about our work with the Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis, which is in his constituency, and where we met him a few weeks ago. Introducing him to some of the current students gave him the chance to see first-hand the impact of our work, and the importance of preserving traditional boatbuilding skills. 
Edward did an amazing job sharing the need for central funding to preserve traditional skills and craft.
