Jet2holidays has hired two new trade sales executives to work with agents in Scotland, Cumbria, the East Midlands and South Yorkshire.

The operator has brought with them more than 35 years of collective experience and has expanded their trade team to fourteen.

He was an assistant manager and retail manager for a leisure, travel and tourism company.

He began his career as a sales consultant for a travel group and went on to work in a variety of roles. He became the branch manager for an independent travel agency.

There are two people who have been appointed to cover Scotland and Cumbria.

Alan Cross said: "These two appointments demonstrate that we are 100% committed to our Partners2Success strategy, which will see us strengthen our unique and successful partnership approach to working with independent travel agency partners."

We want to further grow this vital sales channel and deliver a service that supports agency partners with their business growth.

To achieve this, we need to attract and build our team.
