It is business as usual for Brian Hynes of The Travel Corporation Irish office as the parent company reorganises.
Mr Hynes was appointed to the position of sales director in Ireland, a role he has held since the departure of Sharon Jordan.
At the recent ITAA conference in Antalya, Mr Hynes participated in a suppliers panel discussion moderated by Eoghan Corry where he reminded agents not to underestimate their clients interest in TTC’s high end product, including Uniworld river cruise. The message had immediate results with a number of lucrative bookings in the days after the conference from agents who had not previously engaged with TTC.
While based in Brisbane, Chris Townson will continue as the director for TTC Europe and managing director for Uniworld Boutique River Cruises as he departs for Brisbane. Anglea Sloan has been appointed sales director in London.
Mr Townson said: I’ll soon be moving desks from Manchester to Brisbane yet still doing the same role. Hybrid working to a new level with hald my day on calls to our team and key partners in Europe and half day doing the work. And I’ll be back to London four times a year to continue face to face with our team and key partners.”
“We are now expanding our team and have put in place promotions to our amazing people. I’m delighted to announce that Angela Sloan becomes Sales Director, Dawn Quinn & Lee Evanson take up National Sales Managers roles, Brian Hynes becomes Head of Sales, Ireland and we have a new Sales Manager David Broad. We have great partners and a super team that we will make sure we continue to deliver the very best across the board.”
