Shake-up at First Choice

FIRST Choice Independent Travel managing director Kyle Haughton has been made redundant after a restructure.

Haughton, who has been with the company since 1997, will leave at the end of this month unless a job can be found for him internally, following a decision to scrap the MD role.

First Choice distribution managing director John Wimbleton will take responsibility for the division, incorporating Unijet scheduled flights, First4Hotels, First4Attractions and Suncars, in the short term.

Head of call centres Julia Socket will look after the call centre, while First Choice director of sales Martin Froggatt will head the sales teams.

Recent changes in the division include the launch of a new flight-selling system and the relocation of the call centre from Haywards Heath to Crawley.
