Peel Ports appoints strategic commercial director

Based at the Port of Liverpool, Marcus will be responsible for developing transformational growth opportunities through group-wide strategic partnerships as well as further developing strong relationships with major shipping lines.

Peel Ports Group chief operating officer David Huck, said: “Currently, 90 percent of deep-sea containerised cargo comes into southern UK ports, yet 60 percent of these are destined for the North. Quite simply, this makes very little sense.  

“Marcus will use his new position to help importers better leverage the Port of Liverpool’s close proximity to major distribution centres in the North, improving operational efficiencies across the supply chain.”
