"This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to join an outstanding business and talented team who are committed to delivering exceptional service and experiences" said Aird-Mash.

"I look forward to working with them to deliver the group’s ambitious growth plan".

Headquartered in Chester, with offices in London, Bristol, Harrogate and Preston, ITC’s tour operating brands include Inspiring Travel Company, Regent Holidays, Rainbow Tours and sports specialist, Spectate.
