Brad Crumbleholme has been appointed as ABP’s Head of Engineering & Asset Management for the Humber Region.
Brad has been supporting the team on the Humber on an interim basis for several months in addition to his current accountabilities as Head of Engineering & Asset Management across Wales & Short Sea Ports and leading the ABP wide Energy Project.
He said: “I am excited to take on this new role and to be working with the Humber team in a permanent capacity. We have great opportunities ahead and having got to know the team here it is clear that we are well positioned to drive Continuous Improvements to the benefit of our customers.”
Brad started at ABP in 2018 and reshaped the W&SSP Engineering function, its people and processes.
He spent 10 years at Peel Ports covering the Mersey Division, and before that 10 years working in manufacturing for a global stainless steel manufacturer. Brad’s heavy engineering career started in precision engineering where he was an apprentice toolmaker.
He will retain oversight of Engineering and Asset Management in W&SSP until a replacement is found. He will report directly to Regional Director for the Humber ports Andrew Dawes, and will be part of the leadership team on the Humber with a key focus on continuous improvement as part of Keeping Britain Trading and Enabling the Energy Transition.
Mr Dawes said: “Brad has done an excellent interim job supporting the engineering teams here and we look forward to the opportunity the role will give him to help shape the engineering function and the wider ABP business. His work is a vital component for us to keep Britain trading and help deliver with our energy transition internally.”
