UK and Europe sales director Nick Hughes said he hopes the appointments will help support agents and boost sales.
“We just finalised our additional team members and we are really excited for them all to start,” he told Travel Weekly.
“We want to engage with the agents and our sales team are key for helping support them to understand who we are and what makes us different.
“We want the growth in our team to be reflected in sales and, with our larger team, we will be able to speak to more agents this year than we ever have before which will be critical in our success.”
He added: “We are not the biggest sales team in the UK, but we are equal in our determination to support agents.”
