Kelly Fagan is the new business development executive for the UK and Ireland.

Fagan has worked with the British Red Cross for four years and held both domestic and international positions.

She will be reporting to the senior business development advisor.

The Palladium Hotel Group forged a commercial pact.

I can't wait to get started and meet you all very soon, I'm delighted to be back in the travel industry.

The creation of the business development executive role is a reflection of the hotel group's continued expansion in the UK and Irish markets.

The UK business development team is going to be expanded.

We will be able to reach more agents across the UK and Ireland thanks to this appointment.

Kelly will be spending time in Sicily and Ibiza before assisting with family trips to Jamaica in December. It will be easy for Kelly to transition into this role.
