The expansion involved a total reconstruction and resurfacing of
more than five hectares of the container terminal area with heavy

PD Ports is one of the driving forces behind the High Tide
Foundation. This new charity was set up by port-related businesses
along the River Tees to raise the aspirations of young people on
Teesside by offering better training and employment opportunities.
Working with the High Tide Foundation, the wider industrial
community and local education and training providers, PD Ports
runs effective programmes giving people practical skills and
experience in port-related sectors.
The first result of these programmes was the creation in
2013 of 13 full-time permanent positions for apprentices in
operational roles at Teesport. This represents a 100 percent
success rate following the introduction of the bespoke 18-month
apprenticeship scheme in 2011.
PD Ports is an active member of Business in the Community (BiTC).
Since joining in 2011, it has become firmly established in a network
of multinational household names, small local businesses and public
sector organisations that all stand for responsible business.
