Icelolly seeks to replace Ross Matthews
Holiday price comparison site Icelolly is in the process of sourcing a new chief marketing officer to replace Ross Matthews.
Matthews is leaving the company in December to join Hoseasons’ parent Awaze UK in January in the same role.
Having started his travel career at Thomas Cook, he has also held roles at Virgin Holidays and Shearings, in addition to working for several non-travel related businesses in ecommerce roles.
Speaking of his new appointment, Matthews said: “It’s a fantastic opportunity at Awaze in a growth sector, I’m looking forward to getting started. I’ll miss working day to day with the team at Icelolly, particularly with Richard [Singer]CEO and Tony [Lacobucci] CTO, truly good friends.”
Icelolly said the process of finding a replacement for Matthews was ongoing and an announcement as to his successor would be made ‘in due course’.
