EX-GOING
Places head of sales Cathy Jackson-Spence has joined Highlife Breaks as
commercial director.
Jackson-Spence
was one of the high-profile casualties following Airtours’ decision to shut 120
shops last year, (Travel Weekly, March 5 2001). Seven months later she received
an out-of-court settlement from Airtours – thought to be in the region of
£100,000 – after claiming her contract had been unfairly terminated.
At
Highlife Breaks, Jackson-Spence will help install a new reservation system,
upgrade the website and move the company to new offices in the New Year.
She replaces Giles Hawke who left the
company at the end of September to join P&O Cruises.
