Andy Jones, CEO at the Port of Milford Haven has announced he will step down from his role at the end of April 2022. Andy became CEO in 2018 and will have been at the Port for 11 years.

Andy has played a significant role in building the current positive culture at the Port, creating an environment of collaboration, not just within the organisation but across our community and our stakeholders in Wales and the UK. He has helped ensure the delivery of some key strategic priorities and set the vision for the Port’s future.

This has been a difficult decision for Andy as he remains vested in the future of Pembrokeshire but feels the time is right for him personally to step back and hand over the reins to take the Port forward into its exciting future.

Andy said “The team at the Port is led by a committed Board of Directors, a passionate Senior Management Team and a fantastic team of employees who I’ve had the pleasure working with over the last 11 years. I know they will continue to ensure the Port plays a crucial role in building the Haven’s prosperity.”

Chris Martin, Chairman said “We will miss Andy but he leaves the Port in a strong position for future growth and we sincerely thank him for his vision, leadership and contributions and wish him the absolute best in all his future plans and endeavours.”

Notes to Editors

Port of Milford Haven

The Port of Milford Haven is the UK’s top energy port and Wales’ busiest port handling around 20% of Britain’s seaborne trade in oil and gas.  It is widely recognised in the industry as the energy capital of the UK.

The Port, along with the cluster of energy-related businesses along the Waterway, is a key driver of economic activity in Pembrokeshire, attracting inward investment and supporting over 4,000 jobs.

The Port of Milford Haven also owns and operates Pembroke Port and Milford Dock.  Activities such as cargo handling, ferry operations, fish landing and cruise calls as well as a first class marina are spread across these two sites. 

One of the most prominent on the West Coast, the Port is in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the only Coastal National Park in Great Britain. It is marked as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and has many areas designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The Port of Milford Haven is a trust port – an independent, commercially run organisation that has statutory responsibilities governed by its Acts, to maintain and improve navigation and the provision of Port and Harbour services and facilities.  Additionally, the Port provides significant financial and in-kind support to a wide variety of local causes.  All profits are retained within the business to fund these objectives.
