AURORA Expeditions Managing Director Robert Halfpenny has resigned from his role at the cruise line, with Chairman Neville Buch stepping into an executive role while a longer-term replacement is sought.
Halfpenny, who joined Aurora in late 2016 after a range of other senior industry roles at Virgin Australia, Globus and Rocky Mountaineer, had overseen the company’s significant expansion with the debut of the new Greg Mortimer, sister ship Sylvia Earle and a third vessel now on order.
During his tenure Aurora’s gross sales increased from $13 million in 2016/17 to $58 million in 2019/20.
He actually resigned in early May, but the company has now confirmed his departure, saying yesterday that Halfpenny is still discussing future opportunities with the Aurora board.
More details in today’s CW.
