Mr. John E. Meredith was a ship captain and has 18 years of experience at sea. For a period of time, he was based at the Port of London before working in 1972 as Chief Executive of the new of operations unit of containers of the predecessor of Hutchison Whampoa Limited, the Hong Kong & Whampoa Dock Company Group.

Mr. Meredith is at present the Chief Executive of the Hutchison Port Holdings Group (HPHG). He is in charge and manages the Hutchison Whampoa Group's ports and related interests.

He is also Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hongkong International Terminals and holds senior management positions in several companies within HPHG’s worldwide operations.

We believe the success of the HPH Group to date can be directly attributed to our experienced and dedicated staff and the appropriation of innovative business solutions, which continually surpass industry demands.

Together, these attributes have enabled us to become the world’s leading port developer and operator as well as an industry leader in the application of technologies that has strengthen the entire transportation and logistics chain.

As an organization that actively invests in the development of modern port infrastructure, HPH is committed to playing a significant role in the development of the economies and the expansion of international trade opportunities for the countries in which it operates.

As a truly global employer, we recognize the importance of not only caring for the continued well-being of our staff, but also caring for the community and environment in which we live and operate.

It is our belief that our support should go beyond the traditional role of an employer and extend to providing meaningful assistance to those less fortunate.

This may seem like a daunting task to balance, considering the 24-7 environment in which our ports operate, but thanks to the energetic individuals that proudly make up our workforce we continue to contribute towards a better society.
