After five years of committed leadership, the company would like to thank Mr Libutti for his hard work and wish him every success in future endeavours.
The company also confirms that Giles Hawke has been appointed as the new UK & Ireland Managing Director and will take up this position on November 13 2013.
Giles Hawke spent nine years at Crystal Holidays and a year at Highlife Breaks before joining Carnival UK. He was at Carnival UK for nearly eleven years, the last six of which were spent in the role of sales and customer service director.
