Remunerated at £14,857 per annum for circa 1 day per month, and based at Maritime House, Tyne Dock, South Shields, NE34 9PT. This is a public appointment made by the Secretary of State for Transport with a three-year tenure and the potential for renewal. Welcome to the Port of Tyne, and thank you for your interest in joining our Board as a Non-executive Director. As the largest UK trust port, we are an independent statutory body governed by our own unique local legislation. Playing a significant role in the UK economy and infrastructure, our primary duty is to manage, maintain, develop and improve the Port for the benefit of an increasingly wide stakeholder community. We are also the custodian and steward of the River Tyne. We also take our responsibility to the community seriously and play an active role in the region. In 2024, we added £680m to the GVA of the regional economy of the North East and supported 12,000 jobs. We also host the UK's first maritime Innovation Hub, and our next phase of development will see the Port underlining the role of the Hub as an engine for true sector growth and change. The Port has undergone a sustained programme of diversification, development and investment in recent years to ensure its future as a vibrant, sustainable business, able to respond to changing customer needs. Our long term strategy, Tyne 2050, is fully aligned with the national strategy, Maritime 2050, and the North East Economic Plan, which focuses on the development of long-term commercial sustainability and growth through technology innovation and customer partnerships. With a number of experienced Board Members approaching the end of their terms, we are now seeking three new Non-executive Directors to join us and support the business in meeting its strategic and investment priorities. Our compact Board is collegiate and inclusive, offering a diverse, dynamic and fast-paced setting in which to contribute. Sound judgement, personal presence and strong team working abilities will be essential. We are especially interested in strengthening our team across the following areas: senior operational finance and commercial skills gained in a large global engineering or related organisation; senior operational experience gained in transport, logistics or process automation - as part of this, we are interested in people who can offer expertise in health & safety in environments characterised by similar risks; external stakeholder management; emerging technologies and AI; experience of HR, and a regional connection.
