FCm’s Alan Spence to semi-retire
Alan Spence will step down as full-time managing director of FCm at the end of this year.
But he will remain with the travel management company on a part-time basis handling specific projects for a further three years.
The TMC’s current commercial director Debbie Carling will take over the role of executive general manager on January 1.
Carling joined the company 23 years ago when it traded as Britannic Travel and was independently owned by Spence and has been commercial director for the last 14 years.
“I am delighted that Debbie will succeed me as executive general manager when I semi-retire at the end of this year,” said Spence.
“Debbie has worked closely with me for many years and I am confident that FCm will be in safe hands and continue to thrive with her at the helm
“Her knowledge of the industry and the way we do business is unrivalled. FCm has an excellent senior management team in place to support her and I will also remain involved with the business on a project basis for the next three years.”
