The Mission to Seafarers (MtS) has revealed that Peter Rouch will assume the position of Secretary General.
Peter Rouch will take the duties from Andrew Wright, who is set to retire from the position in September after nearly twelve years of service as the organization’s leader.
“I am very grateful indeed to have been invited to become Secretary General of The Mission to Seafarers. It is a charity with considerable heritage, a strong track record of valuable impact, breadth and depth in representation, and very exciting possibilities to develop support for the world’s seafarers and their frequently struggling families in a dynamic and sometimes risky world,” stated Peter Rouch, the Mission’s next Secretary General.
Following a comprehensive search process, Peter Rouch has been selected by the Board of The Mission to Seafarers for this role. He is scheduled to commence his duties on 1 July, allowing for a smooth transition period between himself and Andrew Wright.
“We are delighted that Peter is joining the Mission and look forward to welcoming him in July. Our current Secretary General, Andrew Wright, has done so much to develop and transform the Mission during his tenure and we owe him a debt of gratitude for his leadership for more than a decade. We are confident that Peter will maintain this momentum and build on our vital role as a leading provider of maritime welfare support for seafarers around the globe,” stated Tom Boardley, Chairman of The Mission to Seafarers.
