“We are delivering some of the biggest projects in our history this year, so I’m delighted that our drive for ever greater success as the port of choice has been recognised on a national and global scale through a variety of awards within the sector. With new infrastructure and a highly talented and diverse team, I’m sure that we will provide our customers with endless opportunities in the future.”
