Islanders are being invited to meet the new boss of Isle of Wight ferry firm Wightlink and have their say on issues such as timetabling, facilities and pricing.

CEO Katy Taylor and several Wightlink managers will be at Quay Arts in Newport on Wednesday, October 30.

The ferry company is hosting its latest consultation event – Meet the Team.

The two hour drop-in session, between 5.30pm and 7.30pm, will give customers the opportunity for face-to-face discussions with the managers.

Head of customer experience Sara Howden said: “We are looking forward to meeting Islanders who travel on our three routes and answering their questions about our services, discounted fares such as Multilink Pass tickets and our support for Isle of Wight residents who need to travel to the mainland for NHS appointments.”

Meet the Team events will be run as open sessions, so there is no need to let Wightlink know you’re coming.

Each event is in-person and will run outside of typical working hours, ensuring the firm can welcome as many people as possible.

A spokesperson said: "There’s no need to attend from the start of each session – simply drop in a time that works for you within the two hour window."
