Mylor Yacht Harbour is gearing up for further significant growth with the commissioning next month of new software systems and website.

The £55,000 package, created by New Zealand-based Pacsoft, is a highlight of this year's £150,000 investment programme in new facilities on the multi-activity site.

MYH has undergone a major redevelopment programme over the past ten years following its acquisition by present owner Roger Graffy, whose visionary changes have doubled the site's workforce to its present level of 120 people.

The MMS package has been six months in the planning and implementation, and staff have undergone a special re-training programme.

Mr Graffy said: "We needed a product able to cope with the flexibility of our operations across the entire spectrum of our activities. It needed to cope with the significant growth of the company, while seamlessly replacing the five different systems we have had in place.

"Any product that can manage the vast diversity of our activities and eliminate significant chunks of time and effort involved in maintaining them has to be good.

"This will now allow our staff to deliver more time and effort to the satisfaction of our customers rather than our systems. Thus far, they have done exactly what they said on the tin!"

The Mylor concern last year celebrated the 200th anniversary of the start of dockyard activity on its site.
