Message from Jonny Rayner, Chief Commercial Officer, Peel Ports Group
As part of our commitment to keeping our customers and partners informed, we are introducing a quarterly commercial newsletter. Its purpose is to provide clearer visibility of what Peel Ports Group is delivering today, how we are investing for the future, and how we are supporting the resilience of your supply chains. Thank you for your continued trust and partnership
I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, Jonny Rayner the Chief Commercial Officer. Since starting in December a key stand out for me has been the versatility of the commodities and support the group offers to the supply chain industry across the UK.
We are mindful that many customers continue to navigate a challenging economic environment. Market volatility, shifting supply chains and broader external factors are shaping commercial decisions and logistics requirements. Despite this, Peel Ports Group continues to perform well, driven by a resilient portfolio and ongoing investment across our operations. Capital investment is up over 40% year-on-year, with major programmes underway across multiple sites, demonstrating our commitment to the future and the backing of our shareholders to make that happen.
As we look ahead to shared success in 2026, our focus remains on stability, consistency and helping our customers achieve more.
