Pilkington to leave CCS
Mark Pilkington is to leave Complete Cruise Solution in mid 2012 after 10 years with the company.
He will take up a new position within the travel industry.
Giles Hawke, sales and customer services director for Carnival UK, said he was a great asset to the organisation.
Pilkington started in a commercial role with Princess Cruises and joined the sales department in 2004 as sales planning manager.
He was promoted to head of sales in 2008.
“Mark will remain with the company for the next few months to ensure that the CCS sales team is poised for continued success," said Hawke.
"I would like to take this opportunity to wish him every success in the future and thank him for his contribution to our success over the last 10 years."
