Two new directors join Audley Travel
Audley Travel has welcomed two new directors to the board in key marketing and IT roles.
Chris Bayley (pictured left) has joined as chief technology officer, replacing Richard Whitehouse who left the business earlier this year.
Bayley previously worked for Cable and Wireless, TUI, Campbell Soup Company and more recently was the Group CIO for Smith & Nephew.
Meanwhile Daniel Robb has joined as chief marketing officer.
He replaces director of digital and marketing Loic Robertson who leaves the business this week after 14 years.
Robb previously worked for Teletext Holidays, Google, TUI and more recently was the CMO for RentalCars.com.
In his new role he will be responsible for digital and offline marketing as well as overseeing the overall sales activity and brand strategy.
Both will report to chief executive Nick Longman, former TUI UK & Ireland managing director, who joined Audley Travel last September and is now chief executive.
Longman said: "I have had the pleasure of working with both of them in the past and know they bring a breadth of expertise with them. It is an exciting time at Audley, as we continue to grow and transform our business. Chris and Daniel will play an integral role in that going forward."
The tailor-made specialist is owned by private equity firm 3i.
