AIRTOURS head of specialist products Gary Wardrope is to leave the role to concentrate on new products. He will take up the new post at the beginning of the year and report into Airtours Holidays managing director Chris Mottershead.
Senior long-haul marketing manager Vicky Wilby will take over from Wardrope while head of long haul and Mediterranean Eamonn Ferrin becomes deputy director for product and commercial.
“We wanted someone to work on projects and Gary has the experience of building up ski, cruise, lakes and mountains and Escapades,” said a spokeswoman.
More changes are also on the cards. Travel Weekly has revealed that group finance director Tim Byrne is to become group managing director. Industry sources also expect other top-level changes.
