The UK Major Ports Group (UKMPG), the trade association for the UK’s major port operators, has appointed former UK government special adviser Geraint Evans as the new chief executive officer.
Evans will join the UKMPG in May 2023, from the global consulting firm, Stonehaven where he was a Partner. Prior to Stonehaven, Evans served as a special adviser under three UK’s prime ministers, David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson.
Evans has also been an early champion of the ‘Levelling Up’ agenda and arrives at the UKMPG having been at the centre of British politics during a historic period of three general elections and a European Union referendum in five years.
Evans commented, “It is a privilege to be joining the UK Major Ports Group as Chief Executive at such a crucial time for the UK’s economic outlook. Our major ports across the country are central to a growing and sustainable economy.”
