Flintham will succeed Claire Bentley, who will retire from her position at the end of October after 24 years. Neil Swanson, Tui UK and Ireland’s chief marketing officer, will replace Flintham as part of a wider restructure of Tui’s global business.
Prior to becoming Tui’s UK and Ireland managing director in 2018, Flintham held several senior positions with the firm – and at one stage nearly joined Tui’s arch-rival Thomas Cook.
