Fred. Olsen appoints field sales manager
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has promoted Mathew Foxcroft to field sales manager.
He was previously role account manager and has worked for Fred. Olsen since 2007.
His appointment follows Mike Evan’s promotion to head of sales in April and a major restructure of the trade support team, led by Becky Smith, trade support manager, and reporting into Kate Wooldridge, sales services and communications manager.
Foxcroft said: "I am looking forward to building on our existing relationships with our travel trade partners in what is an exciting time for the company. With the extensive new fly-cruise programme and the launch of the new river cruise programme, there are extensive promotional opportunities that we now have.
"I know we already have a great team of account managers, backed up by our trade support department, so I am looking forward to working closely with them to further promote the Fred. Olsen difference and the small ship experience that makes our brand so unique."
Evans added: "I am sure this appointment will be met with universal approval from our trade partners, many of whom Mathew has worked closely with over the past 10 years."
