“The start in my career that Conway gave me was invaluable; as I guided the Queen Mary 2 into New York for the first time I couldn’t help but think how fortunate I had been.”
Captain Ron Warwick, himself an ‘old Conway’, was Commodore of Cunard Line and Master of both the QE2 and the QM2. He is one of the many high flyers who started their careers with Conway.
