  Alexander, last time I checked Councils were controlled by politicians and council officers acted as directed by their political masters and in accordance with policy decisions made by politicians.
  
  Private equity will appoint its own managers outside the control or influence of government, that is totally acceptable to government. Why should it be unacceptable for a community interest company such as DPPT to do any differently?
  
  The port's managers will either be its current managers, as current employees will be subject of TUPE regs, or will be appointed as the result of a standard advertisement and interview process as and when new managers and executives are required for the business. This is exactly the same way in which employees are generally selected for the positions that they hold.
  
  The process for appointments to the Board are included in the Society's rules, as are the duties and responsibilities of board members.
  
  Simple answer to your last Alexander is that I do not know. Once Tupe obligations have been fulfilled and if vacancies at the top become available, then there will be a transparent recruitment process in keeping with best practice and a new executive will be selected as a result of that process.
