Waterways museum welcomes new manager

The National Waterways Museum is pleased to announce the appointment of John Inch as General Manager of the National Waterways Museum Ellesmere Port.

John, a history graduate from Newcastle University, brings to the Museum a wealth of management experience having spent more than two decades working in the leisure industry.

John said, "The Museum provides an essential link with our industrial heritage and an invaluable reminder of how waterways have shaped so many aspects of modern life. It presents as an unrivalled opportunity for education and learning and a great day out for the family. There is a great team of people at the Museum – staff and volunteers, and I am looking forward to working with them to build on all aspects of what the Museum has to offer."

Stuart Gillis, Director of Museums, said: "This is a particularly important time for the National Waterways Museum and I am very pleased that John is joining us. His extensive experience will help us to realise the full potential of the museum and its location."

The National Waterways Museum Ellesmere Port is housed in a historic 7-acre dock complex situated alongside the Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal. With indoor and outdoor exhibits, hands-on-activities and quizzes, it is a wonderful day out for all the family, whatever the weather.

Daily boat trips from the museum along the Shropshire Union Canal mean visitors can discover more about the history of the waterway and surrounding landscape.

The museum, which is open daily 10am – 5pm, is situated just off junction 9 on the M53, 15 minutes drive from Chester and 25 minutes from Liverpool.
