Plymouth Waterfront Partnership (PWP) has appointed Sarah O'Leary as the new waterfront manager, which forms part of a wider bid to help attract more visitors to the city.

O'Leary currently works as the Active in the Communities Co-ordinator at the University of Plymouth and is due to take up her new role in October, joining a new organisation formed under the Destination Plymouth framework. PWP chair Alvin Hargreaves said: "Sarah has demonstrated that she has the skills, drive and experience of the sector needed to unlock the potential of the partnership and work with the diverse range of businesses across the Hoe, Barbican and Waterfront areas."
