Nick West joined the Board in September. He is the former CEO of Euroports and is currently a non-executive director at the Deep-sea Container Terminal at Port of Gdansk (DCT Gdansk S.A), Poland’s largest container terminal and Verbrugge International, a port operator based in The Netherlands.
Andrew Moffat, Port of Tyne Chief Executive Officer, said: “Nick West brings nearly three decades of international experience at management and board level in the sector that will be invaluable to the business.
“I am sure he will bring a fresh perspective to the Board as we continue to make progress on our development and growth plans.”
With more than 20 years’ experience in the ports and logistic sector, Nick West led the development of Euroports from a wide spectrum of cargo operations into holding market-leading positions in handling forest products, specialty dry bulks, and heavy dry bulk sectors.
He said: “I am delighted to join the Port of Tyne. The track record of the Port in growing the business and supporting the regional economy of the North East has been exceptional, and I am looking forward to the opportunity to lend my experience to its continued success.”
