Riviera Travel has recruited a sixth member to its agency sales team following increased sales through the trade.
Emma Rodgers takes on the role of sales development manager, north, covering agents in the north of England and Scotland.
“This is the first time we have had a dedicated regional point of contact for travel agents in the north, and will provide an increased level of support to our agent partners,” head of agency sales Joseph Grimley said.
“I’m delighted to welcome Emma to our team. She brings with her a wealth of experience in the travel industry including retail, sales and account management.
“We now have the whole country covered with Paul Mellon looking after the south, Tamzin Bishop in the Midlands and Emma in the north.”
Rodgers added: “I’m thrilled to be joining Riviera Travel. Over the last few years I’ve seen the growth of the brand and I’m looking forward to being part of such a successful company.
“My role will be to strengthen existing relationships with agents in the north, and develop new ones.
“As part of my induction I’m very excited to be experiencing Riviera Travel river cruise and escorted touring products first hand and learning all about the Riviera Travel difference.
“I’ve always wanted to do a river cruise and now I’m working for the UK market leaders.
“I will be hitting the road in the next few weeks and can’t wait to meet the agents.”
