Two senior figures at the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company are to retire later this year.
Chief Executive Officer Mark Woodward and Commercial Director John Watt will both stand down from their roles in July 2021.
They have collectively chalked up 58 years during which time they have overseen a number of changes, including the acquisition of the Company by the Manx government and managing the detailed operation to secure a new purpose-built vessel, which is due to come into service in 2023.
Mark Woodward joined the Company in 1989 as Management Accountant, moving to Operations in 1995. He succeeded the late Hamish Ross as Chief Executive Officer in 2007.
John Watt moved to the Company in 1995 and joined the Board of Directors eight years later. During his tenure, the number of passenger sailings have more than doubled, while average fares paid have halved in real terms.
