ABP appoints new Humber leader

Associated British Ports (ABP), the UK’s largest and leading ports operator, announced the appointment of Andrew Dawes as the new Regional Director for Humber, succeeding Simon Bird, who will be leaving ABP at the end of October.

In his new role, Andrew will join the Executive team and report directly to ABP’s CEO, Henrik L. Pedersen.

Andrew’s career began at the Southampton Container Terminal, and he has since developed into a seasoned maritime executive with nearly 30 years of experience in the global ports and terminals industry. He has worked with leading companies such as DP World, APM Terminals, and ICTSI.

In addition to his strong leadership skills, Andrew brings extensive expertise in safety, operations, and commercial activities. His experience also includes holding Managing Director roles with P&L accountability for terminals, as well as overseeing broader regional portfolios.

“This is an incredible time to be joining ABP as the next 5-year business strategy is launched. I am delighted to be joining the Humber Region which has some really exciting projects and growth opportunities. The Humber plays a key role in delivering ABP’s twin missions of Keeping Britain Trading as well as Enabling the Energy Transition here in the UK. I am very much looking forward to meeting and working with my Humber colleagues, customers and wider stakeholders and to bringing my family to live in this fantastic region,” stated Andrew Dawes, regional director, of Humber Designate.

Andrew will commence his role at ABP on 1st October 2024, ensuring a comprehensive handover period with the outgoing Regional Director, Simon Bird, who will be stepping down at the end of the month.
