Waggott said: “My commitment, supported by a professional and dedicated team, is for the Port of Dover to be the best port in the world for the benefit of our customers and community.”
Mr Waggott is keen to develop a growing, vibrant, dynamic and commercially focused business that delivers great customer value and contributes to both its community and the economic interests of the nation. George Jenkins OBE, Chairman of Dover Harbour Board, said: “Tim has the right experience, qualifications, drive and ability to take this organisation forward together with its customers and community.”
Following the recent positive statement from Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Transport, Stephen Hammond MP, on how well the Port is performing and how it is already taking positive steps in a range of areas, including in its relationships with its key customers, the appointment of Mr Waggott enables the Port to pursue this agenda with renewed energy and determination.
Mr Waggott added: “I sincerely welcome everyone’s ideas on how, together, we can deliver on the commitment I have set out today.”
