Hawke takes on wider role in MSC
MSC Cruises UK and Ireland managing director Giles Hawke has been given an expanded role with the company which he joined last November.
In his new role as executive director for the UK, Ireland and Australia, he will be responsible for all operations in the UK, Ireland & Australia.
Hawke will also act as the co-ordinator and reference point for North America, South America and Central America, as well as South Africa, co-ordinating passengers travelling from these regions to Europe.
"I’m delighted to be taking on a broader role within MSC Cruises," he said. "I still have a very strong focus on the local domestic markets, while having the opportunity to share best practice in both directions with other English speaking markets where we operate.
"This is a great role to help position MSC Cruises for further significant growth."
