Four key appointments at the Luxury Travel Group

The Luxury Travel Group, which owns the Scott Dunn and Imagine Travel brands, has made four appointments in its sales and product management teams.

Chris Bradford becomes sales operations manager, Kim Daplyn guest relations manager, Marco Rocha head of product and commercial and Olie Summers sales and service manager for Africa.

Summer joins Jessica Campbell as sales and service Manager for Asia and Sinead Somers as sales and service manager for Latin, across all brands.

These follow the appointment of Simon Lynch four months ago as director of sales and John Taker, six months ago, as global product director.

A statement said the new hires will help to ‘elevate Scott Dunn and Imagine Travel into the next phase of their growth’.

Sonia Davies, CEO of LTG, added: "Whilst both brands have unique identities and guest bases, these appointments will ensure we continue to put guests at the heart of what we do and deepen our focus on understanding our guests and creating the perfect holiday tailored to them."

Bradford joins from Travelopia, where he was worldwide sales manager for both Trek America and Grand American Adventures.

Daplyn joins from Travel Republic but began her career in travel in 2004 at TUI, working for the Thomson and Crystal ski brands.

Rocha previously held various senior management roles in product and commercial functions at brands including Virgin Holidays, GTA, Kuoni and dnata.

Summers joins LTG as the first externally hired cross-brand sales and service manager and most recently headed up Audley Travel’s Japan and South East Asian programme from the London office. He spent his first decade at STA Travel.
