Fred Olsen marketing director Nigel Lingard has announced he is to retire from his post at the cruise operator at the end of November.
In a personal note sent to industry contact Lingard said: “After much deliberation, I have decided to step back from full time work later this year in order to devote more time to home life.
“I will therefore take retirement from my position as marketing director for Fred Olsen Cruise Lines on 30th November 2011.
“No prizes for guessing that I will still hope to retain some part-time involvement in the travel/cruise industries, so you’re not rid of me yet.”
