Martyn Pellew has stepped down as PD Ports’ group development director, according to a company press release.
Pellew held the position for eight years on a full time basis, however, has decided to pursue other interests.
He was responsible for the rebranding of all the former Powell Duffryn owned port and shipping businesses under the current PD Ports identity.
According to the release, he also played an integral role in the repositioning of the company in the global maritime and UK logistics sectors.
“I would like to put on record my personal, as well as our collective thanks, to Martyn for all that has been achieved by him and us as a result of his personal energy and commitment to the cause at all times,” commented David Robinson, PD Ports’ Group chief executive officer.
It is believed that his involvement in the successful Northern Gateway campaign, while not yet fully delivered, has helped lay a solid platform for development in the longer term.
The release also stated that the company will continue in its efforts to grow and develop the business, investing in new opportunities and exploring new markets.
It underlined some of its particular focus as "continuing to pursue a foothold in the renewable energy sector through the Chain Reaction campaign and expansion of its existing container handling facilities to position Teesport as a major container hub."
Pellew will continue to act as an advisor to PD Ports on relevant business matters.
