Intrepid appoints new regional director
Intrepid has appointed Aaron Hocking as EMEA regional director following the promotion of Michael Edwards at the end of last year.
Hocking began his career in travel 12 years ago and has since held a variety of sales roles working in Europe, North America and Australia.
Since joining the Intrepid Group in 2013, he has taken on a number of different roles including inbound sales manager Australia and New Zealand, contracting and supplier relations manager APAC and most recently general manager of global sales for Intrepid Group’s operational division PEAK DMC.
The appointment comes three months after Michael Edwards became chief growth officer.
"As the Intrepid Group continues to grow we are delighted to have Aaron join the EMEA team. Aaron has done a great job on the operational side, so we are looking forward to him bringing his invaluable experience and enthusiasm over to the Brixton office as we aim to build on the successes of 2017," said Edwards.
Hocking added, "I’m excited to make the move to the UK and work with an ambitious team to see Intrepid grow in this region."
