THOMSON Holidays has promoted development director David Burling to the new post of trading director.
Burling will be responsible for overseeing the strategic development and integration of the company’s distribution and yield management. He will also sit on the Thomson Holidays board.
The operator stressed that sales director Manuel Mascarenhas will continue to be responsible for sales through travel agents and the Manchester call centre.
Thomson is currently looking for a new development director to replace Burling. The position of marketing director is still vacant following the promotion of Shaun Powell to deputy managing director. He is now acting MD.
