Sullivan joins on March 1 after five years as BDM for Avalon River Cruises and has been tasked with building relationships with key trade partners in the Midlands.
Elaine O’Brien has been named as the first dedicated BDM in Ireland, a key market for growth.
APT & Travelmarvel has also made an “exciting new hire” for the role of BDM north England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The new team member will complete the operator’s agent-facing sales team and be announced soon, according to the company.

“We worked hard to find the perfect candidates to deliver the professionalism, energy and support that will help our trade partners to thrive.
“Our goal was to create the best sales team in the market; with these expert BDMs in place, and the support of our call centre, marketing and design experts, I can confidently say that we have achieved just that.
