Livingston James Partners with Forth Ports to Appoint a Property Director

Livingston James is delighted to partner with Forth Ports to appoint a new Property Director. 

An opportunity to join one of the UK’s most influential infrastructure groups and help shape the future of port development.

Forth Ports is a powerhouse of UK trade, operating eight strategically located ports – including Tilbury, London’s closest deep-water port. Collectively, they move over 31 million tonnes of cargo annually, contributing £950 million to the economy and powering supply chains across the country. Tilbury alone handles 36% of the Thames’ cargo flow, generates over half our turnover, and has ambitious plans to double throughput and triple direct employment over the next decade.

Forth Ports is seeking a strategic and driven Property Director to oversee all property-related activity at the Port of Tilbury – London’s closest deep-water port and a vital gateway for UK trade. As the port enters a transformative growth phase, this leadership role will shape the future of one of the UK’s most commercially important logistics hubs.

Candidates should bring a proven ability to manage complex property and land projects to budget and timescale as well as experience of implementing successful change to improve performance.
