Chair of the Board of Directors
Richard was the Chief Executive of the Port of London Authority from 2004 until March 2014 during which time he focused on a series of objectives including the development of skills of people who operate on the river. He also encouraged a wider range of people to take up careers on the Thames to increase diversity. He believes that the employer-led Thames Skills Academy is vital to meet these aims.
Since his retirement Richard has maintained his links with the maritime world as Chair of the TSA’s Board and as a non-Executive Chairman at the Port of Dover and a member of Belfast Harbour Board.

Sean Collins
Director
Click to read bio
Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder – Thames Clippers
Collins has been at the helm of Thames Clippers since the inception of the business in 1999. At that time they operated one boat with a capacity of just 62 that served three piers and employed two people. Today, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers carries over 5.2 million passengers and employs over 500 people. The business operates 24 vessels, including three hybrids and has a further two fully electric vessels under construction (cross river passenger/cycle ferry and light freight vessel).
Under Collins’ leadership, the business has attracted external investment including AEG who held a majority shareholding from 2006 to 2022 and most recently Northleaf Capital Partners who are committed to help drive the business growth with a focus on improving environmental sustainability. A commercial partnership was entered into with Uber in August 2020 for the naming rights to the brand.
With a keen focus on training and development, Collins has instilled a people-first vision at Uber Boat by Thames Clippers. The business has an in-house training academy and 76% of the Captains of Uber Boat by Thames Clippers vessels have worked their way up through the business. Uber Boat by Thames Clippers have a female population of 31%. By 2026 it is expected that Thames Clippers will have about 15% female captains, in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
Collins began his career aged 16 in 1984 when he was apprenticed to the Company of Watermen and Lighterman and is a third-generation Waterman. This includes serving as a Royal Waterman since 2008. During his career on the River Thames Collins has worked as a Captain on passenger vessels and tug boats. Collins has also been National Rowing Champion and represented Great Britain at an international level, including the World Rowing Championships.

Eric Reynolds
Director
Click to read bio
Eric Reynolds has been involved in numerous urban regeneration schemes and the creation of visitor attractions since the early 1970’s, many including the practical re-use of historic buildings. He acts as a regeneration advisor across the country, is former Chairman of the London Safer Cities initiative and is a director and member of several other voluntary bodies. He was Chairman of Leeside Regeneration, responsible for over £20 million of SRB 4, 5 & 6 funding.
At Trinity Buoy Wharf, the site of London’s only lighthouse, he won the LDDC sponsored competition to take the vacant 3 acre site to develop a centre for arts and creative activity. This is where he pioneered the idea of converting shipping containers into buildings. Initially creating workspace, it soon became clear that this form of building was replicable across other sites and could be put to a wide variety of uses including housing, live/work, workspace, community buildings, children’s nurseries, health & education buildings and music studios. All these uses have been planned and/or implemented by Urban Space Management using the title “Container City”. Eric continues to develop the concept, design and implementation of this novel form of construction. He was instrumental in saving Smithfield Market in the City of London, devising an alternative business plan as part of the Planning Inquiry in 2007 and the Ministerial Call In in 2014 and devised the idea of moving the Museum of London into that space. In 2012 he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by Regeneration and Renewal Magazine.
He is a trustee of several charitable organisations including the Royal Museums Greenwich, an Honorary Member, RIBA and a Freeman of the Company of Watermen and Lightermen. He is a Chairman of SAVE and a Trustee of Royal Rowbarge Gloriana.

Director

Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder – Thames Clippers
Collins has been at the helm of Thames Clippers since the inception of the business in 1999. At that time they operated one boat with a capacity of just 62 that served three piers and employed two people. Today, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers carries over 5.2 million passengers and employs over 500 people. The business operates 24 vessels, including three hybrids and has a further two fully electric vessels under construction (cross river passenger/cycle ferry and light freight vessel).
Under Collins’ leadership, the business has attracted external investment including AEG who held a majority shareholding from 2006 to 2022 and most recently Northleaf Capital Partners who are committed to help drive the business growth with a focus on improving environmental sustainability. A commercial partnership was entered into with Uber in August 2020 for the naming rights to the brand.
With a keen focus on training and development, Collins has instilled a people-first vision at Uber Boat by Thames Clippers. The business has an in-house training academy and 76% of the Captains of Uber Boat by Thames Clippers vessels have worked their way up through the business. Uber Boat by Thames Clippers have a female population of 31%. By 2026 it is expected that Thames Clippers will have about 15% female captains, in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
Collins began his career aged 16 in 1984 when he was apprenticed to the Company of Watermen and Lighterman and is a third-generation Waterman. This includes serving as a Royal Waterman since 2008. During his career on the River Thames Collins has worked as a Captain on passenger vessels and tug boats. Collins has also been National Rowing Champion and represented Great Britain at an international level, including the World Rowing Championships.

Eric Reynolds
Director
Click to read bio
Eric Reynolds has been involved in numerous urban regeneration schemes and the creation of visitor attractions since the early 1970’s, many including the practical re-use of historic buildings. He acts as a regeneration advisor across the country, is former Chairman of the London Safer Cities initiative and is a director and member of several other voluntary bodies. He was Chairman of Leeside Regeneration, responsible for over £20 million of SRB 4, 5 & 6 funding.
At Trinity Buoy Wharf, the site of London’s only lighthouse, he won the LDDC sponsored competition to take the vacant 3 acre site to develop a centre for arts and creative activity. This is where he pioneered the idea of converting shipping containers into buildings. Initially creating workspace, it soon became clear that this form of building was replicable across other sites and could be put to a wide variety of uses including housing, live/work, workspace, community buildings, children’s nurseries, health & education buildings and music studios. All these uses have been planned and/or implemented by Urban Space Management using the title “Container City”. Eric continues to develop the concept, design and implementation of this novel form of construction. He was instrumental in saving Smithfield Market in the City of London, devising an alternative business plan as part of the Planning Inquiry in 2007 and the Ministerial Call In in 2014 and devised the idea of moving the Museum of London into that space. In 2012 he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by Regeneration and Renewal Magazine.
He is a trustee of several charitable organisations including the Royal Museums Greenwich, an Honorary Member, RIBA and a Freeman of the Company of Watermen and Lightermen. He is a Chairman of SAVE and a Trustee of Royal Rowbarge Gloriana.
