Kathryn Beadle, UK managing director of Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection, has announced her retirement later this year.
Beadle, who has been in the position for three years, is to retire in November.
Kathryn, the former UK MD for Hurtigruten, joined Uniglobe in November 2014 to launch it as a stand-alone operator in the UK.
She said: "I feel personally for me that the time is right to retire but I have enjoyed a truly wonderful career in the travel industry and wish Uniworld every continued success."
Ellen Bettridge, CEO of Uniworld, addedd: "We are extremely grateful to Kathryn for her leadership and strategy setting up Uniworld in the UK and wish her all the very best for her retirement.
"She will be sorely missed, but we are confident that she leaves us having firmly established Uniworld as the market leader in the luxury river cruise sector and we look forward to continuing the valued trade relationships that she has put in place."
A replacement for Kathryn will be announced in due course.
