P&O Ferries CEO Hebblethwaite to resign

(Sharecast News) - P&O Ferries, a subsidiary of DP World, confirmed on Friday that chief executive Peter Hebblethwaite was planning to resign. A spokesperson for the company said: "Peter Hebblethwaite has communicated his intention to resign from his position as chief executive officer to dedicate more time to family matters. P&O Ferries extends its gratitude to Peter Hebblethwaite for his contributions as CEO over the past four years.

"During his tenure the company navigated the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, initiated a path towards financial stability, and introduced the world's first large double-ended hybrid ferries on the Dover-Calais route, thereby enhancing sustainability. We extend our best wishes to him for his future endeavours."

The statement came after Sky News reported that Hebblethwaite had decided to resign for personal reasons.

Hebblethwaite - who in March 2022 sacked nearly 800 crew and replaced them with cheaper agency staff - was voted the "Worst Boss in the World" by trade unionists that year.
