Fred Olsen reshuffles trade sales team
Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has reshuffled its trade sales team and plans to announce new appointments shortly.
International and tour operator sales manager Kate Wooldridge has been appointed to the new role of sales services communications manager, reporting into head of sales Neil Herbert, who she will also deputise for.
Wooldridge will also manage the trade support and sales systems teams and will oversee all aspects of trade communications, which includes training, promotions, incentives, educational ship visits, trade marketing campaigns, events, conferences and brochure launches.
She said the new position would ‘help shape, develop and improve the way in which we communicate with our travel trade partners’.
"2017 will see us embarking on a range of trade-facing initiatives, activities, promotions and events that will further endorse our continued commitment to working with travel agents and tour operators in the UK. I am really looking forward to helping deliver those initiatives to the benefit of our partners," she added.
In addition, Carla Ball has been promoted to sales manager – specialist sales, taking on the responsibilities previously held by Wooldridge for UK tour operators and international re-sellers.
Ball already manages Fred Olsen’s largest tour operator accounts in the UK, but will now be responsible for all UK tour operators and overseas resellers, in addition to managing a portfolio of specialist sales accounts.
Zoe Allum, formerly reservations team leader becomes trade support executive, providing additional travel trade and account management assistance.
Fred Olsen is currently recruiting for an account manager and support executive.
