Unforgettable Travel Company creates global partnerships team to ‘build strong agent relationships’

The Unforgettable Travel Company has made two appointments to a newly created global partnerships team.

Jesse Lepow will lead the team as global partnerships director, which will cover Unforgettable Travel, Unforgettable Croatia and Unforgettable Greece, and joins from The Muse Collection where he was director of business development for six years.

Lepow will join the leadership team and report to head of global sales David Stone.

Meanwhile, Heather Witten has been promoted from customer relationship management and social manager to global partnerships manager, having joined the company in 2017.

The two-strong team will be responsible for managing and growing strategic partnerships with “key travel agent partners”, launching a new trade-dedicated website next year, directing campaigns and joint promotions and overseeing trade activities such as events, roadshows and fam trips.

Lepow said: “I’m thrilled to be joining Unforgettable Travel Company at such a pivotal time for the business.

“Our relationships with our trade partners around the world is crucial to us and I am excited to help these grow and flourish.”

Witten added: "It’s a privilege to step into this new role, dedicated to supporting our trade network.

“I am looking forward to the opportunity to deepen our valued relationships, improve the way we communicate, and provide genuine support to the partners who power our business.”

Graham Carter, co-founder of Unforgettable Travel Company, said: "Our global trade bookings have grown from £4 million to £11 million in just two years, which reflects the incredible potential of this channel.

“We’re excited to launch our new global partnerships team as we celebrate our 10-year anniversary.

“Jesse and Heather will play a pivotal role in ensuring we continue to build strong, mutually beneficial relationships with agents worldwide, providing the tools they need to sell our product with confidence.”
