Port of London Authority chief to chair U.K. ports group
Richard Everitt, chief executive of the Port of London Authority (PLA), has been elected to chair the United Kingdom Major Ports Group (UKMPG), a trade association that represents most of the country’s biggest ports.
Everitt will continue as head of the PLA.
'I look forward to working with others in the UKMPG to ensure that the ports' voice is heard loud and clear in government, Parliament, Whitehall and in Brussels,' Everitt said. 'Ports are central not only to the whole transport debate, but also to other key issues such as the environment and energy supply. I will be able to contribute to those national policy debates, reflecting the key matters that we face on the Thames and in the Port of London area.'
