Barrhead Travel confirms two senior appointments

Two senior appointments have been confirmed by Barrhead Travel as the Scottish agency group continues to expand throughout the UK.

Sue Jarvis is moving from Hay Travel after 11 years to become commercial finance director and David Shirra moves from Life Technologies to take the role of marketing and e-commerce director.

Jarvis will be based in Sunderland but will spend some of her week in Barrhead’s Glasgow base.

As part of the firm’s ongoing expansion plans, it recently announced details of a strategy to invest more than £300,000 in high street outlets across Scotland and the North of England throughout 2013/14.

The firm now operates from 55 locations across the UK.

Chief executive Sharon Munro said: “We are delighted to welcome Sue and David to the Barrhead Travel team. The wealth of experience they have in the travel industry and in other business sectors will be a fantastic addition to the team and will complement our workforce.

“As a business we plan to increase our reach even further in a wide range of different areas throughout the coming months, their input will be invaluable in helping us drive the business forward.”
