“Over the last six months I spent a lot of time with the Tour Operator and Retail teams, as well as with our franchisees, and it was clear that we needed to do better, to evolve, provide the right support and work in closer collaboration to complement each other and fuel further support and growth,” said Tricia.
“We have a portfolio of really exciting products that are creatively marketed and sold by a talented team of people. This new structure will provide us with a great base to build and strengthen our brand and product proposition, as well as increasing our agent following.”
