He added: “One of my priorities is to help my remaining team write their next career chapters. If you need professionals experienced in brand management, marketing & creative services, media and advertising, communications, public relations, and crisis management – please get in touch.
“If you’re looking for a senior leader for a company or business unit looking to drive growth, galvanise and inspire a team to be their best… give me a call, perhaps we can grab a coffee?”

Other travel industry roles have been with Club 18-30 & Flexible Trips – part of Thomas Cook Group – plus Virgin Holidays and Tropical Places.
