[ February 23, 2024   //   ]

Associated British Ports has appointed Francis Paonessa to the new role of capital projects director. He will join ABP in April from Thames Water where he has led a portfolio of projects with an annual investment of up to £1bn per year. Prior to that Francis was managing director of Infrastructure Projects at Network Rail where he headed up the UK’s largest portfolio of capital projects.

He will report directly to ABP chief executive  Henrik Pedersen, who said:  “ABP has an exciting pipeline of transformative and complex major projects to substantially expand both our trade handling and green energy enabling activities. The time is right to create a new role at the executive team level of the company, bringing focus and experience to what will be key growth engines for ABP.”
