According to the company, the appointment forms part of Comtec’s strategy “to offer agents a one-stop sales and services solution”.

We look forward to channelling his energy and knowledge to help our customers become even more productive.”

As agents strive to become more profitable, solutions that reduce selling times and speed up administration have never been more important. And as these are areas in which Comtec excels, this was natural move for me to make.”
Comtec powers sites such as bargainholidays.com, Expedia.co.uk, Holiday.co.uk and lastminute.com. In addition, the company delivers lates data and content to the UK retail travel market.
