In a recent development, DP World, a global leader in logistics, has confirmed a substantial £1 billion investment to expand its London Gateway port. This comes on the heels of a potential withdrawal from the project following public criticism of P&O Ferries, a subsidiary of DP World, by UK government ministers. Transport Secretary Louise Haigh labelled P&O Ferries a 'rogue operator' and advocated for consumer boycotts, a stance stemming from the company's controversial decision to dismiss 800 staff members in March 2020 in favour of cheaper labour. Despite this, negotiations with the government have brought DP World back into alignment, with the announcement made at the UK's International Investment Summit, an event designed to draw significant foreign investment to the UK.
