Jonathan Bellamy joins the company from Elegant Resorts where he worked for almost nine years, and prior to working with Elegant, had 13 years with ITC Travel Group.

Now representing brands such as One&Only Resorts, Atlantis Resorts, Rare Finds Hotels & Resorts and SIRO Hotels, Bellamy will report to Craig Jeffs, Kerzner’s regional director, sales and marketing, UK & Scandinavia.

In his most recent position as head of business development and Chairman’s Club at Elegant Resorts, Bellamy was responsible for the creation and delivery of a comprehensive client retention and acquisition strategy.

In his new role, he will assume full management and responsibility for key accounts, build on existing relationships and represent Kerzner at international trade shows and industry events.

The move comes as Elegant Resorts announces its new national account manager Katie Daniels. Meanwhile, Karen Davidson will be moving from her role as global director of sales UK, Ireland & Scandinavia at Anantara to take up the Chairman’s Club role.
