Blue Cube Travel appoints new MD
Travel management company, Blue Cube Travel, has appointed Bex Deadman in the newly-created role of managing director.
She joined the TMC in 2013 as director of sales, rising to commercial director two years later.
As MD she will continue to oversee these areas alongside the senior management team, but also be responsible for the strategy and future proofing of Blue Cube’s entire business.
Before joining Blue Cube she was corporate sales manager at HRS and customer and operations manager at Getabed.
Mel Phaure, director and co-founder of Blue Cube Travel, said Deadman was the obvious choice for the role.
"Over the last two years in particular she has demonstrated a remarkably proactive and innovative approach within our business, taking on many challenges and initiatives personally – all this without wanting any recognition, but simply because she is determined to see Blue Cube continue to succeed and grow."
Deadman added: "I am proud to be taking on this role at Blue Cube.
"The travel industry is once again at a pivotal point in its evolution, especially the corporate side. The work we have already achieved at Blue Cube over the last 18 months is impressive, particularly around industry topics such as NDC, traveller wellbeing and climate change.
"I look forward to continuing to drive Blue Cube’s future growth and success and contributing to initiatives that will see the long-term sustainability of the corporate travel sector."
Founded in 2003 with just three staff, Blue Cube now has 35 staff in four offices and an annual turnover of £35 million.
