Hays Travel head of Independence Group Natasha Marson has been named as new head of distribution at easyJet holidays.
She will join the budget airline’s in-hour tour operation on December 18.
The appointment comes less than a week after former distribution head Kelly Walker was named as UK, Ireland and Europe sales director for TTC Tour Brands.
Marson, who will lead easyJet holidays’ travel trade partnership division, was previously regional sales manager for Thomas Cook.
She will lead an eight-strong distribution team at the fast growing tour operator.
Head of partnerships Roy Stratford said: “Our travel agent partners have played a significant role in our rapid growth and continue to be an important extension of our business.
“I’m delighted to confirm that Natasha Marson is joining us as our head of distribution, to keep driving our successful trade partnerships forward.
“Natasha brings brilliant travel trade experience with her, so we look forward to bringing her on board and welcoming her to the easyJet holidays team.”
Marson added: “I’m thrilled to be joining easyJet holidays as head of distribution.
“Like many, I’ve seen the mark it’s making on the industry so I’m incredibly excited to be joining the UK’s fastest growing tour operator, working closely with the distribution team and travel agent partners to deliver brilliant holidays.”
