Hayden’s journey with Port Nelson began in 2002, when he joined as a casual staff member working in the quarantine sector. Since then, he has built a strong career across various roles within the Port, including Cargo Receptionist/Yard Planner, Terminal Supervisor, and most recently, part of the vessel planning team. He also spent time in an Operational Management role within our Stevedoring team, helping lead through the challenges of the COVID-19 period.

When asked what inspired him to take on the role, Hayden shared “Port Nelson has been a fantastic place to grow and challenge myself.
I’m proud to work for a business that continues to invest in its people, and I trust in the future direction of our company. I’m excited to be part of the team shaping what comes next.”
