Littlehampton Coastguard Sees Shake-Up in Leadership
After more than a decade at the helm, Richard Morris has stepped down as Station Officer at Littlehampton Coastguard. The seasoned leader is shifting gears to spend more time with family and pursue new projects. But don’t count him out — Richard remains on board as a Coastguard Rescue Officer, continuing to serve the community.
Decade of Dedication
Richard has been the backbone of the Littlehampton team for over 10 years. He steered the crew through significant local and national changes, shaping a strong, professional rescue service. His commitment has been nothing short of exemplary.
New Leadership Takes the Helm
Stepping up to the Station Officer role is Doug, a familiar face with 12 years on the Littlehampton team. Backed by Laurence, Doug’s ready to lead the crew into an exciting new chapter.
Expert Praise for Smooth Transition
“Station Officers carry considerable additional responsibility on what is already an extremely demanding position as a volunteer Coastguard Rescue Officer,” said Alex Garrod, Senior Coastal Operations Officer for Sussex. “I’d like to thank Richard for his dedication, professionalism and leadership over the years. I’m pleased he will continue to offer his Search and Rescue expertise to residents and visitors to Littlehampton and the Sussex Coast. I’m confident the team will go from strength to strength under Doug and Laurence’s leadership.”
