Jane Atkins to head Freedom consortium
Former MyTravel sales and retail commercial head Jane Atkins is to head the Freedom travel agents consortium.
She is replacing Trevor Davis who has been appointed head of retail distribution for the Co-operative Travel Group, formed following the merger between the travel operations of United Co-operatives and The Co-operative Group earlier this year.
Atkins held a dual role at MyTravel involving distribution of MyTravel tour operating brands and procurement for the Going Places retail network.
She is due to take up her new job on December 3, reporting to Alistair Rowland, the group’s director of distribution for direct businesses.
The Freedom Travel Agents’ Consortium is the second largest trading business of the newly merged group, with almost 120 members and a further 25 pending.
