THE appointment of Campbell Carruth to the position of head of property within ABP’s operations on the Humber will allow the company to develop a “robust property strategy” and raise the profile of the Humber Enterprise Zone, according to ABP director Humber, Simon Bird.

Mr Carruth joins the company from UK Coal/Harworth Estates, where he held responsibility for all of the former mining accommodation across 15 sites, together with over 1000 acres of consented employment land, which totalled more than 1000 acres. Prior to his tenure at Harworth Estates, Mr Carruth was director of the property division at Clugston Estates.

His remit at ABP will include bringing together the north and south bank property teams and working closely with the commercial function to develop a property ‘masterplan’ for the four Humber ports. This will raise the profile of the company’s assets and Mr Carruth will work to strengthen links between ABP and the development of national infrastructure such as HS2/HS3, as well as the emerging Northern Powerhouse.

Mr Bird said: “We’re delighted to welcome someone of Campbell’s calibre to the Humber. I’m confident that with his guidance and expertise we can market and utilise our property and land-based assets much more effectively and highlight the Humber as a fantastic place to invest and do business.”
