Jet2holidays adds to trade sales team

A former travel agency branch manager has joined Jet2holidays as trade sales executive for Birmingham and the Midlands.

Vicky Edwards moves from Polka Dot Travel in Shrewsbury, having started her career in travel as a Tui apprentice.

Her appointment means that the operator now has 18 people in its trade team, which is dedicated to working with independent travel agents to help them increase sales.

She follows a number of recent additions to the Jet2holidays trade team, with Sasha Stokeli and Jason Cullen also joining as trade sales executives, and Oliver Sherwood joining as a trade sales analyst.

Head of trade sales Alan Cross said: “I’m delighted to welcome Vicky to our award-winning team, as she brings the experience, skill and passion to help our independent travel agency partners take their businesses to the next level.

“Independent travel agents and their customers across Birmingham and the Midlands are responding fantastically well to our real package holidays and our unique partnership approach, and this appointment shows how dedicated we are to strengthening that.”

Edwards added: “I’m very excited to be joining the Jet2holidays trade team and am looking forward to helping independent travel agents take advantage of all the opportunities that are out there to drive more sales and win more business.”
