Intrepid makes a change at the top
Intrepid Travel’s James Thornton, currently the company’s commercial director and general manager sales & product, has been promoted to the role of managing director with effect from December 1.
Thornton has been with Intrepid for more than seven years. He held a number of roles within sales and marketing before being appointed to lead the global sales function in 2010.
During the last 18 months, he has undertaken a dual role as Intrepid’s regional director for UK & Europe and its general manager for global sales.
Thornton has lead the development of a sales culture at Intrepid, resulting in 2012 recording the best sales growth at Intrepid in six years.
Geoff Manchester, who co-founded Intrepid Travel alongside Darrell Wade 23 years ago, recently decided to hand over the role of managing director so that he can concentrate on the areas of the business that he is most passionate about, including responsible travel.
He will continue to play an integral role within Intrepid, leading The Intrepid Foundation and acting as an ambassador for Intrepid at industry, business and promotional events.
