Hurtigruten creates new UK general manager position
Hurtigruten has announced a restructuring of its UK and EMEA senior team following the departure of managing director Magnus Zetterberg.
The restructure will see the creation of two new roles, one of which is a UK general manager, which will be filled by Anthony Daniels.
The new job will be incorporated into his current role as head of sales UK and Ireland.
The other is a newly-created role to lead the updated sales area of Europe, into which the UK, Nordics and EMEA will report.
Daniels, along with the head of sales from each European market, will report into the new sales area which will be lead by vice president sales Europe Heiko Jensen.
Hurtigruten chief commercial officer Asta Lassesen said; "We are delighted to appoint Anthony and Heiko to these new roles that we have created.
"We are confident they will both continue to deliver great results for Hurtigruten especially in the lead up to the launch of our first hybrid ship, the MS Roald Amundsen.
"We also want to take the time to say thank you to Magnus for his great work and dedication to making Hurtigruten a success in the UK and EMEA. We wish him all the best for his next adventure."
The new roles will be effective as of Monday October 15.
