Vince said; “I've loved my time on the waterways and it's been a great privilege to have helped with their development and improvement. The formation of the Trust is a particular source of pride and I look forward to seeing it go from strength to strength.
“It's always been my intention to retire at the age of 60 and, with that milestone coming up early next year, it's time for me to move on. I've met and worked with many fantastic people, both within the Trust and beyond, and I wish them well for the future.”
The Trust's chief executive Richard Parry said; “Vince has fulfilled a range of roles and has contributed widely during his 18 years of service with BW and the Trust. In recent years he has been the driver of the significant improvements we have made in safety, asset management and condition, and day-to-day operations introducing numerous improvements to our ways of working. I wish Vince the best in his well-deserved retirement.”
