Amanda Killick, who spent 13 years at Virgin Atlantic developing the airline’s HR strategy, has joined business travel and events specialist ATPI Group.
She has been appointed UK HR manager to implement a global, people-first strategy.
ATPI Group has seen staff levels bounce back in line with pre-pandemic levels despite ongoing industry labour shortages, rising costs and the cost-of-living crisis.
Group chief executive Ian Sinderson said: “Amanda’s appointment comes at a pivotal time in our growth trajectory and we’re over the moon to have her on board.
“Her extensive industry experience in both HR and the travel industry means we’re able to continue to strengthen our unwavering commitment to our people and our clients alike.
“Amanda will play a central role in shaping and developing our HR strategy, and we look forward to seeing where this journey takes us.”
Killick added: “ATPI’s people are some of the best in the business and I look forward to building on the solid foundations that the team before me have put in place.
“I’m honoured to be leading the HR department in such a key growth region, especially at a company that’s so well-respected and established in the travel management space.”
