Ports of Jersey has welcomed three new members to its senior management team: a Chief Development Officer, a Chief Operating Officer, and an Operations Director.
Steve Hoesli has taken up the role of Chief Development Officer. He will lead the implementation of the two major investment programmes at the Harbour and Airport.
He was previously Director of Transportation at the development consultancy Mott MacDonald, where he led a team of 450 people and delivered a range of projects in the Aviation, Maritime, Rail, and Highways sectors. He has also delivered projects for the UK Ministry of Defence and the Department for Transport.
Mr Hoesli said: "I have a passion for supporting people, teams and organisations to improve performance. By encouraging clear thinking and reflection, I hope I can enable people to fulfil their potential."
Stephen King has been appointed as the new Chief Operating Officer and will be responsible for coordinating customer, commercial, and operational Ports teams while also improving the customer experience.
He previously worked as Chief Commercial Officer for Cambodia's three airports. Before that, he worked for five years at London Gatwick in Aviation Development. He has also worked in the maritime and logistics sectors and spent over a decade at Virgin Atlantic Airways.
Mr King said: "The Harbour and Airport are such key lifelines for the Island, we have a really important role in keeping people travelling and supplies flowing smoothly. We're custodians of key infrastructure, which nearly everyone on the Island uses, and we take that responsibility seriously."
Ashley Maggs has been promoted to Airport Operations Director, following the retirement of Robin MacRae.
Mr Maggs joined Ports of Jersey in 2014 and was appointed Deputy Airport Director in 2022 as a succession role for future leadership.
