Dan Scott and Katie Hughes have joined the line, bringing more than a decade’s industry experience.

Yorkshire-based account manager Scott will look after agents in central and eastern England, with his patch stretching from Newcastle south to East Anglia.

He has seven years’ industry experience, having previously worked for Hays Travel and Thomas Cook.

Shropshire-based Hughes, meanwhile, joins Fred Olsen as its newest account executive and will work with agents to grow their sales.

She brings five years’ industry experience, including time spent at seas working onboard cruise ships.

Their respective appointments follow what Fred Olsen described as “a year of record sales”, which had necessitated the growth of its sales team.

Geoff Ridgeon, Fred Olsen head of sales, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be increasing our dedicated support for agents around the country with our passionate and knowledgeable team.

“Both Dan and Katie add a great passion and energy to the team, and we can’t wait to continue building relationships and sharing knowledge with agents.”
