JTA has appointed Diane Court as head of business development.
Court previously worked in trade roles with Destinology, Freedom Travel, Virgin Holidays and Gold Medal.
"I have known JTA for many years; I am really excited to be able to work for a well-run and established independent tour operator and look forward for all the new challenges," she said.
The operator plans to increase its trade support and specialist sales divisions, starting with a new trade website.
