DP World London Gateway has appointed James Leeson to the role of Head of Port Commercial following the announcement that Tabare Dominguez is to become Commercial Director at DP World Vancouver.                                                               

James started in the role this month, bringing with him more than 20 years of international experience in the shipping and ports industry.

He was most recently Head of Commercial for Associated British Ports (ABP) Humber region, covering the ports of Immingham, Hull, Grimsby and Goole.

After starting out as a trainee with Harrison Line in Liverpool, James moved on to P&O Nedlloyd and Maersk Line, working in a range of commercially focused roles based in the UK, Latin America, France and Spain.

In 2008, James moved into container terminal management heading up the commercial function at Tilbury Container Services. This was followed by a brief spell with Inchcape Shipping Services as Global Key Account Manager and subsequently with ABP.

James Leeson, Head of Port Commercial, DP World London Gateway, said: “Things are really starting to take shape at DP World London Gateway Port and Logistics Park, with ships calling from across the globe and the park’s first distribution centre being full of cargo from Asia. You can also see the potential that still exists, which I find really exciting.

Simon Moore, CEO of DP World London Gateway, said: “I would firstly like to congratulate Tabare on his promotion within DP World and thank him for the role he has played at DP World London Gateway. The whole team here wishes him well in the next stage of his career.

“I am delighted to welcome James to our growing team. He brings with him a wealth of experience from within the container shipping industry and I look forward to his contribution towards the continued success of our fast growing, state-of-the-art container port and logistics park.
