Humber Freeport has recruited new members to its board of directors. They include Tom Wheldon, director and head of region (Yorkshire and North East) at property firm HBD, part of Henry Boot; Matt Jukes, Hull City Council’s chief executive; Paul Bellotti, East Riding Council’s chief executive, and Sharon Wroot, interim chief executive of North East Lincolnshire Council.

Representing the two combined authorities – Hull and East Yorkshire (HEYCA) and Greater Lincolnshire – are Interim HEYCA Chief Executive Alan Menzies and Professor Neal Juster, who recently also served as the Freeport’s Interim Chair.

The Board is chaired by Finbarr Dowling, who retired from Siemens recently after a 35-year career which saw him drive forward large-scale investments within the region with a total value of £1 billion.
