Thomas Cook apoints retail head for central region
Thomas Cook has appointed Nicki Tempest-Mitchell as head of retail central for the Thomas Cook and The Co-operative Travel retail network.
Tempest-Mitchell will join later this year from Celebrity Cruises, where she is currently director of sales.
Reporting into Kathryn Darbandi, director of retail and customer experience, Thomas Cook UK & Ireland, she will work alongside Clive Newton (head of retail north) and Torey Kings-Hodkin (head of retail south).
“Ensuring that we have the right senior team in place to support the field team and our stores is incredibly important, and Nicki has all the experience and capabilities we look for in such a critical role,” said Darbandi.
“I’m looking forward to working closely with her as we drive the execution of our distribution strategy and deliver improved performance across our retail estate."
Jacqui Holt, previously head of retail central, will be leaving the retail network to take up the position of head of Thomas Cook Sport, based in Cook’s Altrincham offices.
Caroline Wood, who had been holding the position on an interim basis, will revert to her role of director of football, Thomas Cook Sport.
