Travel body appoints raft of new directors
The Institute of Travel & Meetings (ITM) UK & Ireland has appointed a raft of new directors to replace those that have stepped down.
Appointed to the role of ITM supplier director are Trevor Elswood, group managing director of Capita/BSI, and Anthony Coyle-Dowling, global director of sales for Zibrant. The association has also appointed Robbie Hughes, manager – travel & expense EMEA for Salesforce.com as buyer director.
Two ITM associate directors have been appointed: Tracy Woods, director, strategic corporate development, Europe for Travelport, and David Chapple, event director Business Travel & Meetings Show.
Linda Bekoe, head of city sales for Grange Hotels becomes a full ITM supplier director after operating as an associate director for two years.
ITM’s vice-chair Nicola Lomas said: "Once again our call for industry talent was heard and we received a really great response to the positions available.
"The interview panel was delighted that every candidate we were presented with had something to offer ITM and the wider industry. Our choice adds increased diversity of experience and perspective to the board and that’s what has always made the ITM board such a successful and rewarding body.”
The new directors will start their initial two year terms after the July 13 board meeting.
