Advantage Travel Partnership has made some changes to its management team and has ditched the WIN name in the UK.
Paula Lacey becomes group commercial and membership director, taking on responsibility for membership, plus commercial and marketing. She will also oversee Focus, Air and third-party providers.
Neil Armorgie, CEO of WIN and global product director for Advantage, will continue to steer the global WIN network but will now also have direct responsibility for business development and sales for business travel members, hotel contracting and supplier relations, along with conference and events for Advantage, taking on some of Lacey’s responsibilities.
Armorgie will also join the Advantage Group board, along with Paul Nunn, operations director.
The WIN team will continue to operate the global network and international business development, managed by John Hobbs Hurrell.
But the UK membership will be rebranded as Advantage Business Travel. A spokeswoman said WIN’s awareness in the UK is not as great as it is globally so the UK arm will therefore be rebranded.
The changes come after the decision of corporate director Ken McLeod to step down from overseeing business travel last year.
He continues to act as a consultant for the group as director of industry affairs.
