Mark Duguid is the new managing director of Kuoni in the UK.
Carrier is a sister company of Kuoni and has been managed by Duguid for the past 6 years.
He will start working at Kuoni on Thursday. The Carrier business will have a new leader in the near future.
The Kuoni business, as well as specialist brands CV Villas, Carrier, Jules Verne, Journey Latin America and Kirker, will be overseen by Duguid.
It's a return to the Kuoni brand for Duguid, who previously held the position of commercial director at the operator.
Kuoni is targeting new shops after FrancisTorrilla takes helm.
There is a decision to leave the UK.
One of the 50 most influential people in British luxury, Duguid has spent the past 14 years as a leader in luxury travel.
The most profitable year in Carrier's 40-year history was 2022.
He started his career in travel after graduating from university. He moved to the head of product at Direct Holidays, part of My Travel.
The prospect of joining Kuoni again is exciting. A huge amount of trust and goodwill from customers, overseas suppliers and the travel trade is what it is.
There is a lot of potential to evolve for new times and I am looking forward to joining at a dynamic time for the travel industry.
Mark is a great leader and will bring a lot of experience to the business. He knows the Kuoni brand well having been commercial director.
It is a great example of how we can nurture and retain senior talent. We are looking forward to a bright future for Kuoni with the help of Mark.

Prior to joining, he was managing director of specialist businesses.
