Hotelplan UK marketing director steps down

Hotelplan UK marketing director Anne Williams is to leave the company after more than five years.

She confirmed her departure from the parent company of Inghams and Santa’s Lapland on LinkedIn and said she was “now open to work”.

Williams said: “It’s with equal measures of both excitement and sadness that I write this post to share the news that I have decided to leave my role of marketing director at Hotelplan UK.

“I’ve had an amazing 5-plus years where I’ve been able to work with some incredibly talented people, and deliver some brilliant and innovative projects. 

“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to top the magic of rebranding Christmas with Santa’s Lapland. And I’ve loved inspiring the team to be creative by trying new things, such as TikTok, podcasts and Strava. 

“But the transformation of Inghams from a legacy, heritage brand into a company with a bold new identity and strong sense of purpose will always be the one I’m most proud of. 

“But it’s now time to seek out my next adventure and carve some fresh tracks somewhere new. 

“I feel totally blessed to work in the travel industry, where everyday is filled with genuine passion for what we do – I hope I’m lucky enough to stay in this industry when the next door opens for me. 

“So please do reach out if you’re looking for an experienced marketing leader as I’m now open to work. 

“And in the meantime, I’ll be spending some (long overdue) time having fun with the family this summer.”
