ABP appoints Head of Continuous Improvement for Humber Region

Associated British Ports (ABP) has selected Tim Hathaway as Head of Continuous Improvement, focusing initially on the Humber region.

In this role, Hathaway will drive engagement across the organization to enhance work processes in an evolving landscape shaped by technological advancements, shifting customer needs, and the adoption of more efficient methods.

He has worked both nationally and internationally. His career began at Southampton Container Terminal (now DP World), and he has since held senior positions across multiple countries, leading numerous improvement initiatives within the port sector.

Tim Hathaway commented: “I am keen to meet those who do their daily jobs as they know their job the best. Organisations have lots of ways of working and lots of ways of frustrating people, so it is about unstitching everything and looking at the way we work, which is often about innovative ideas for solving problems, which increase productivity and give our customers a better service.”

“There are some exciting opportunities coming up in green energy, and I think we have learning to do as we transition from fossil fuel to new fuels. It will create unfamiliar problems and challenges, and some may take months or years to fix. We will be looking at what needs to be done and how it delivers our company strategy.”

Based in the Humber region, Hathaway was previously part of ABP’s wider network, working five years at Southampton Container Terminal before joining APM Terminals in Africa and the Middle East. He later moved to Hong Kong and then to Oman, where he spent several years at the Port of Salalah, leading its transformation into the Middle East’s top-ranked port.
