Cunard has appointed Tui’s Liz Edwards as vice-president of global PR and events, about a year after the cruise line’s president joined from the same operator.
Edwards, who is currently Tui UK’s director of communications, will start her new role on October 21.
Cunard president Katie McAlister, who joined from Tui in August last year, said Edwards was arriving at a “pivotal moment” for the Southampton-based brand.
