A number of original staff of Hebridean Island Cruises have been re-employed under the new ownership of All Leisure Group.
Following the purchase of 30-cabin Hebridean Princess, All Leisure has reinstated some original employees.
These include David Smith, who has been asked to rejoin the company as a business development manager for the vessel.
Smith was an employee for 14 years before being made redundant in April when Hebridean Spirit, the company’s second ship, was sold.
Now Hebridean Princess has been bought by Swan Hellenic and Voyages of Discovery parent All Leisure, some original employees have been reinstated.
Geoff Lawrence, All Leisure Group, said: “We welcome Hebridean Princess into the group and, indeed, David back on-board.
“The crew of Hebridean Princess and the long-serving office staff in Skipton will continue to provide the unique cruising experience which is cherished by her loyal following.”
Smith’s role has involved working with independent travel agents.
