Funway Holidays managing director Stephen Rhodes is stepping down.
Rhodes, who has been with the company for six years, has decided to leave for a better work-life balance.
"I decided last year that I wanted to change my work-life balance," said Rhodes, who plans to take a few months off initially.
"I will be looking at interim, short-term or part-time roles either in travel or other industries depending on what I come across. I would love to stay in travel."
The operator’s product and commercial director Melissa Tilling is taking the helm from April.
Tilling, who has worked at Funway Holidays for nine years, said: "I’m really looking forward to building on the success achieved under Stephen’s leadership. In a challenging trading environment Funway Holidays has grown at a rapid pace.
"Expanding purposefully from a focus on the USA and Sandals into a leading trade-focused longhaul independent encompassing diverse programmes in the USA, Mexico and the Caribbean. Our new Mexico and Caribbean, just launched, is the next step in that journey."
Rhodes added that the move was ‘good for all parties’.
"It’s what I want to do and what Melissa wants to do. She is incredibly capable and hard working."
