MyTravel appoints two non-exec directors

Thomson Travel Group chief executive officer Roger Burnell and ex-Barclays Bank finance director David Allvey as non-executive directors.

Burnell spent 25 years with Thomson Travel Group (now TUI UK) and has substantial experience of the vertically-integrated tour operating industry.

Burnell is also a non-executive chairman of International Life Leisure Group and non-executive chairman of The First Resort.

In a move to reassure shareholders there will be no more accounting issues, Allvey will become chairman of the audit committee.

He was finance director of Barclays Bank until December 2000 and is currently a non-executive director of the UK Accounting Standards Board.
