Beaumaris Lifeboat Station has welcomed Phil Greville as the station’s dedicated Lifeboat Operations Manager (LOM). Phil, who currently works for the RAF as Regional Liaison Office for Wales based at RAF Valley, will be responsible for managing all operational activities at the lifeboat station, authorising the launch of the lifeboat and the day-to-day management of the station assisted by the team of DLAs (deputy launching authority).
Phil, who is a keen sailor but fortunately never needed the RNLI’s services, has worked closely with the RNLI in his RAF capacity at civic events in Beaumaris and also during the national multi-agency emergency flood training exercises held at Bala during March.
Phil said; “I am delighted to have joined Beaumaris Lifeboat Station as I have long been a great admirer of the RNLI and the crew’s commitment, dedication and loyalty. There is a lot of synergy between the RAF and RNLI as they have the same core values and in both teamwork and training is paramount, so I look forward to working with the team in continuing to provide this valuable lifesaving service.” One of Phil’s first roles as LOM was to receive a donation from the Goddard family from Prescot, Merseyside. The donations came from the funeral service of Mr Alan Goddard.
