Nigel Lingard, Marketing Director of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, the UK based operator of four medium sized ships, will go to retirement in style: a reception will be held on 22 November at the Reform Club in London.

The Reform Club , located on Pall Mall in central London, opened its doors in 1836. The current clubhouse, in the style of an Italianate palazzo, was finished five years later and it was designed by Charles Barry, whose other works include Houses of Parliament in Westminster in London.

Lingard, meanwhile,  served Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines for 23 years and in that time he became one of the best known personalities in the UK cruise industry..
