The former head of product, distribution and trading at collapsed Preston Travel Group has joined Solos Holidays.
Darren Hitchcock has taken the newly-created role of head of commercial at the singles travel specialist.
He will work alongside managing director Andrew Williams to develop the company’s sales strategy.
Hitchcock previously worked for Hotels4U.com, Libra Holidays and Thomas Cook.
Williams said: “Darren joins us at an exciting time for Solos, as we shape the business to take the best possible advantage of emerging commercial opportunities.
“Whilst largely sales and product focused, Darren will also be pivotal in developing the strategic direction of the Solos brand and I look forward to working closely with him on all aspects of this new role.”
