Housed in a newly renovated building, located on the harbourside on Newlyn’s Strand. The new facilities include three computers which can be used for informal training or searching the Internet for information about anything from packaging to processing.

"The Resource Centre is also the offices for Seafood Cornwall, which can offer
advice to industry on fish quality issues and is working to improve marketing and promotion of Cornish fish and seafood,” says Project director, Nathan de Rozarieux. “Both Jon Lansley and I have worked in a number of roles in the local industry so we will be able to help with whatever queries and ideas people may have.” As well as drawing down funding from Objective One, the Centre has been supported by Barclays Bank, who recognised the vital need for the Centre to help people in the fishing industry to access training or advice and information on a range of issues. “Barclays are delighted to be providing this tangible recognition of our support for the Cornish fishing industry and the Penwith community. Undoubtedly the Newlyn Fisheries Resource Centre will make an important contribution to the local economy and a vital part to the whole regeneration strategy for Newlyn,” said John Stevens, Corporate Manager at Barclays Cornwall Business Centre.
