Danny Giles resigns from Ponant

Ponant’s business development manager for the north, Scotland and Ireland has resigned from his role.

Danny Giles took up his post with the French cruise line in February 2022. He has previously worked for Riviera Travel, Silversea and Hurtigruten.

A statement from Ponant said: “Unfortunately, Danny Giles has decided to resign from his position at Ponant.

“We wish him well on his next endeavour and thank him for his dedication and professionalism whilst representing Ponant in the UK.

“Anthony Daniels, general manager for the UK and Ireland is now reviewing the business needs and will announce plans in due course.”

Giles said on LinkedIn on Thursday (August 8): “Today marks the end of my time at Ponant as I embark on a new adventure, not before a few months of garden leave.

“I have been lucky enough to visit and experience this incredible product in places I never thought I would ever get to see.

“I want to thank everyone from the offices in Marseille to the onboard teams who I have spent time with.

“I leave you in the capable hands of my colleagues from the UK & Ireland team knowing that I have left my region in a stronger and more knowledgeable place about this product.”
