- Barbara Hallwood, a networking professional, also joins the team, bringing her expertise from theProfileClub.

Panache Cruises has strategically appointed Tony Hallwood, an aviation expert celebrated for his extensive leadership in the UK travel industry. Over a career spanning more than thirty years, Hallwood has excelled in senior management and director roles with prominent operations in the tour operating and airport sectors. His notable positions include roles at Airtours Holidays, Cosmos Holidays, as well as leadership roles at Leeds Bradford Airport and Bristol Airport. His robust experience in business development, planning, and marketing is anticipated to be a valuable asset for Panache Cruises as it looks to further its market presence and innovation efforts.
Alongside Tony, Barbara Hallwood joins as an ambassador, drawing from her vast experience in high-end networking, an expertise honed through her establishment and successful operation of the Cheshire-based business, theProfileClub. Since its inception in 2011 until its sale in 2019, the business was recognised for connecting elite professionals, a skillset she is expected to replicate in her new role to the benefit of Panache Cruises.
CEO James Cole expressed his enthusiasm for the appointments, underscoring the value both Tony and Barbara bring not only as industry veterans but also as dedicated customers of the company. “We welcome Tony and Barbara to this role with open arms,” Cole remarked. “Not only do they have a wealth of experience that we can benefit from as a business, but they are also highly valued clients who love to cruise.”
The rationale behind these appointments aligns with Panache Cruises’ mission to cater to cruise enthusiasts by offering bespoke experiences that cater to individual cruising preferences. Tony Hallwood himself has articulated his enthusiasm, stating, “We are delighted to be joining Panache Cruises as ambassadors, and very much look forward to working with James and the team.”
Moreover, Panache Cruises’ commitment to its personnel management, exemplified by their recent enhancements to maternity and paternity policies, echo their ethos of prioritising both client and staff satisfaction. These policies are among what the agency considers to be the strongest in the travel sector, indicating a progressive approach to employee welfare.
Barbara Hallwood’s addition to the ambassadorial team is expected to elevate the firm’s networking capabilities, further establishing its presence within elite circles. Her previous ventures have shown her adeptness at fostering important business connections, a talent that will undoubtedly advance Panache Cruises’ strategic objectives.
The appointment of Tony and Barbara Hallwood as ambassadors underlines Panache Cruises’ commitment to leveraging industry expertise for continued growth and innovation.
