Chair

Forth Green Freeport is Scotland’s largest opportunity to deliver a just transition to net zero, to attract significant inward investment, to build international trade and export capability and to create high quality and well-paid jobs in renewable energy, green manufacturing and alternative fuels.

Forth Green Freeport is built on a collaboration of both private and public organisations who share the vision to re-industrialise Scotland and spread the benefits of trade widely into the local communities that need it the most.

The delivery of this ambitious and exciting project will have a transformative impact across the Forth Estuary, Scotland and the UK and will drive real economic growth through innovation, trade and investment and supporting Scotland’s transition to net zero.

You will be a visible, inspirational and politically astute leader with excellent communication skills and the energy to really drive forward the goals and mission of the Forth Green Freeport.
