UKinbound has made two senior appointments, naming Karen Jacques as Scottish business development manager and Tricia Handley-Hughes to the board of directors.
Handley-Hughes has over 35 years of travel industry experience that includes airlines and airports, tourism representation, and management.
She founded Pinpoint Britain in 2013, which offers international visitors itineraries that include culture, tradition, and niche experiences in the UK.
With her appointment to the board of directors, Handley-Hughes is keen to help represent the views of her fellow tour operators, focus on the inbound tour operator/DMC strategy, and complement the skills of existing board member colleagues.
Jacques brings with her over 20 years’ experience as a sales and marketing professional in the tourism industry sector.
Her career began at the Caledonian Hotel Edinburgh before she joined Apex Hotels in 1996, where she was involved in seven hotel openings as the group expanded.
She will take over from Andrew Macnair on December 4.
