Cowes Harbour Commission (CHC) has appointed Captain Jon Kidd as Harbour Master.
Jon will join the harbour in January 2024 and report to CEO Gary Hall.
As Harbour Master, his key focus will be managing a safe harbour. He will also work alongside the CHC board and senior leadership team to help deliver its strategic plan.
