Michael Sheary joined the then Dublin Port and Docks Board, now Dublin Port Company, straight from school and has served in a variety of roles until his appointment eight years ago as chief financial officer and company secretary. During his time there, the organisation has gone through unprecedented change including introducing nine competing terminals, reducing its staff by two thirds while handling five times the volume of trade, finding €250 million for investment in infrastructure and building a €200 million pension fund. All while not increasing costs to the unitised trade for twenty years. |
