With 95% of the UK’s global trade dependent on maritime routes and the sector supporting over 1.1 million jobs, the award highlights Millie’s contributions to a vital and fast-paced industry.

As an Assistant Operations Manager at Associated British Ports (ABP) in Newport, Millie plays an important role in supporting UK trade, with a strong focus on safety and sustainable energy. The award also marks a milestone in her career progression from the ABP graduate scheme to a key operational role.

 

 

Millie said: “A massive thank you to my colleagues and mentors at ABP for all their support throughout the graduate programme and into my new full-time role. I’m excited for what lies ahead!”
