Independent Port Handling (IPH) group, which includes port terminal operator Southampton Cargo Handling (SCH), has strengthened its cruise-ship operations by recruiting Glen Gardner as cruise operations manager.
He joins the company, which is the UK’s most extensive provider of cruise-ship services, from Associated British Ports (ABP) where he spent nearly eight years as port operations and security manager in Southampton, latterly being responsible for operations at the City Cruise terminal in the Western Docks. He started his career as a purser working for P&O Princess Cruises, now part of the Carnival Group, and worked for the latter ashore before setting up his own cruise passenger services company and subsequently joining ABP in 2008.
Lee Davis, SCH director, said: “Glen’s experience in both port and on-board operations will help us to improve services to existing customers and continue our growth path in the wider cruise business.”
Gardner added: “This is an exciting time to join IPH as it plays its part in strengthening Southampton’s role as Europe’s leading cruise port.”
