Virgin Atlantic hires two senior account managers

Two senior account managers have been hired by Virgin Atlantic.

Melanie Wood was the business sales manager at OGI.

Wood will be able to use her skills gained in the cruise sector to drive revenue and support travel agents, while Finch will provide a fresh perspective having previously worked outside the travel industry.

The leisure sales staff have been given special focuses.

Nick Johnson will now specialize in diversity, equality and inclusion after being promoted to senior account manager.

Brad Smith is a company figurehead for travel agents.

Smith will talk about the Agent Reward Scheme later this week at Travel Weekly.

To develop the best talent within the travel industry, you need to give new opportunities that add breadth and depth to our team's skills and experience.

She said that the current team opportunities to specialize are important to the vision.

We are looking forward to seeing what we can achieve as we enter our next phase of ambitious growth and I look forward to working closely with each of them as we continue to lead our business into a success.

Virgin Atlantic has a new service in Florida.

Next year, Virgin Atlantic will start a daily route from London to Austin.
