ABP strengthens commercial team with three appointments

Associated British Ports has reinforced its East Anglia Commercial Team through three appointments reflecting the company’s commitment to supporting customers, attracting investment and unlocking new opportunities across the region’s trade, logistics and energy sectors. John Grace joins as Lead Commercial Manager for East Anglia, bringing extensive experience across short-sea shipping, multimodal logistics and commercial property. He most recently served as UK Commercial Manager for CLdN Cargo, where he led commercial and customer strategy for major European logistics and shipping clients, and previously held senior commercial roles at Freightliner Group and Samskip. In his new role he will lead commercial activity across ABP’s East Anglia ports, helping customers identify growth opportunities while delivering the regional commercial strategy. Tom Duit has expanded his existing role as Operations Manager at the Port of Lowestoft to incorporate commercial responsibilities, combining deep operational knowledge with a customer and business development focus.
