With no official announcement, all three made known they were no longer in those roles by updating their LinkedIn profiles, Mr Hotine the only one confirming that he had also left DP World. He noted: “Friday was my last day at DP World,” adding “I have enjoyed being part of DP World’s ambitious journey, and I will be following it with interest from the sidelines”. However, a spokesperson for DP World told The Loadstar shortly before publication: “With a team of more than 20,000 people across the region, DP World Europe continues to deepen and expand its network,” a spokesperson for DP World told The Loadstar. The logic behind the shake-up is perplexing, given how well DP World’s European operations fared last year, with the CEO for the region, Rashid Adbulla, noting during the group’s 2025 results call in March: “DP World’s operations in Europe are playing a central role in our global growth.” This story was amended Friday 7 August following clarification from DP World that rather than staff redundancies, the restructure would result in the loss of around 300 roles.
