CHAIR AND THREE NON-EXECUTIVE MEMBERS TO THE BOARD OF WARRENPOINT HARBOUR AUTHORITY
The Department for Infrastructure is inviting applications for the recruitment of a Chair and Three Non-Executive Members to the Board of Warrenpoint Harbour Authority (WHA).
Warrenpoint Harbour is one of Northern Ireland's main commercial ports, serving a hinterland which includes the southern part of Northern Ireland and the northern part of the Republic of Ireland. The Port's geographic position constitutes a major strategic advantage located halfway on the main strategic network of the Belfast to Dublin economic corridor. The Warrenpoint Harbour Authority Orders of 1971 and 2002 conferred powers on the Authority to preserve, improve and manage the Port of Warrenpoint.
The role of a Non-Executive Chair and Member on the WHA Board is to bring experience and judgement to bear on issues of strategy, governance and performance and be prepared to constructively challenge and assist executive management in the development of strategy and policies.
Do you think you can play a key role as a Chair or Board Member of Warrenpoint Harbour Authority?
