DRD MINISTER APPOINTS NEW BELFAST HARBOUR COMMISSIONERS
Well known Newtownards Businessman, Noel Brady, has been appointed as a Belfast Harbour Commissioner.
Regional Development Minister Conor Murphy, announced new appointments and re-appointments of Belfast Harbour Commissioners following open public competition. The appointments are for a four year period, effective from 1 January 2008. The Minister said: “Noel Brady, Trefor Campbell, Peter Curistan, and Peter Dixon are being appointed for the first time and will bring a wide range of commercial experience to the Belfast Harbour Commissioners. I am also reappointing Ross Reed and David Russell who had applied for further terms through public competition and who will help to provide important continuity to the Harbour Commissioners. ”
The Minister went on to say “The public competition to recruit new board members attracted a range of highly skilled candidates. I consider that the six Commissioners appointed as a result of the competition will ensure that Belfast port continues to have a strong and representative Board with a wealth of talent. “Under the leadership of the Chairman, Len O’Hagan, who will continue to serve in this capacity until 31 December 2010, I am confident the new Board will provide the strategic direction necessary to encourage the continued growth and success of Belfast port as a key regional gateway and important economic driver for the North of Ireland.”
