Long-haul specialist Wendy Wu seeks new MD
Wendy Wu Tours has confirmed that it is seeking a new managing director after Mark Bloxham left the company.
In the meantime, the company’s founder Wendy Wu will step in as interim MD, supported by the senior leadership team.
Speaking on Bloxham’s departure just a year after he joined the long-haul specialist, Wu said: "Mark was appointed to grow the company’s digital business, a remit that has now been completed.
"We all think very highly of Mark and we thank him for his contribution to Wendy Wu Tours. We wish him well for his future career."
The company has also brought in as a non-executive director to its global board former Thomas Cook chief executive Manny Fontenla-Novoa, who resigned from the company at the start of its financial crisis in 2011.
"Manny has enormous expertise, knowledge and wisdom, and has always been a great business mentor to me. Manny brings a plethora of industry experience to Wendy Wu Tours and we are all so thrilled to have Manny on the board," added Wu.
The company said applications for the role of MD should be sent to: [email protected]
