Speaking to TTG during the group’s conference in Madeira on Sunday (1 May), Steven Esom hailed Advantage chief executive Julia Lo Bue-Said for building a “first-class team” over the past three years.
“Julia has built such a strong team within Advantage,” he said. “The board were a bit concerned because Julia’s plan was actually not to hunker down or spend less, it was actually to support the members and spend more.
“The board has confidence in Julia and the rest of the executive team. Julia has spent the last three or four years building a first-class team which has taken us through this.
