JG Travel Group names Andy Freeth as CEO
JG Travel Group has named former If Only boss Andy Freeth as Chief Executive.
He will replace Luis Arteaga who becomes Chairman.
Freeth, who will take up the role on January 1, said he was ‘excited to be involved in the domestic sector’.
Freeth, the long-time Managing Director of Travel 2, stepped down from If Only in July after two years at the luxury tour operator.
Arteaga said: "We are excited to bring Andy into our business and look forward to welcoming him in January.
"Although 2020 has been a really challenging year for our sector we are confident that the UK domestic market will recover swiftly. We acquired National Holidays in the summer and along with our other brands Just Go! Holidays, Omega Breaks and Albion Journeys we are the clear market leader and positioned amazingly well for when our sector bounces back.
"We remain dedicated to inspiring everyone to get out more in life by creating memorable experiences."
Freeth said: "I cannot wait to join the team and support them in developing the existing brands, expanding the product range and making the most of the fantastic opportunity we have with the acquisition of National Holidays.
"Travel agent partnerships will be really important to our success in 2021 and we are committed to supporting the trade with the tools they need to work with us."
