Andrew Nicholson has been appointed managing director at TravelTainment UK.
Nicholson most recently headed up dynamic packaging at Thomas Cook’s independent travel division, where his core responsibility was to drive profitable growth in new and incremental, dynamically packaged inventory sales.
Previously, he held a number of MD roles in the travel industry including CheapCaribbean.co.uk, Superior Holidays and Avro Plc where he boosted direct sales from 2% to 15% in 12 months.
He will report into Andrew Owen-Jones, managing director international at the global TravelTainment – the Amadeus Leisure Group.
TravelTainment’s internet booking engine already powers the websites of 250 travel agents and tour operators in Germany and has a growing portfolio in the UK including Anatolian Sky, Perfect-trip, 24 Holidays and Littleescapes.
Owen-Jones said: “We see a real growth opportunity for TravelTainment in the UK and one of Andrew’s top priorities will be to increase our UK customer base.â€
