Ensemble expanding to Australia, NZ
Ensemble Travel Group is making its first foray outside North America with the launch of Ensemble Australia/New Zealand.
The new division will have new members onboard in about three months, said co-president Lyndsay Pearlman.
"Ensemble is a nimble and dynamic group, and our agent and partner-focused model is right for today’s thriving Australia/New Zealand market," said Pearlman.
The company announced Trish Shepherd as senior vice president and general manager of Ensemble Australia/New Zealand.
Shepherd was head of development at American Express Travel Network franchises in Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific.
"There is an incredible opportunity within the Australian/New Zealand market to create a new program for travel professionals, one which put the needs of its members first," said Shepherd.
"Travel agency owners want a relationship that is a true partnership, and that is what we are going to create with Ensemble."
Ensemble said it has been looking to expand in Australasia for about three years.
