With immediate effect, UK-based Absalom will become sales and marketing director and Wentworth will move to general manager UK, with the pair taking responsibility for driving the group’s ambitious growth plans.
 
Absalom, reporting directly to Glen Moroney, Scenic Group chairman and founder, will oversee the sales and marketing function including digital, direct and trade sales.

 
Andrea Stafford, director of trade sales, will continue to own the trade strategy and commercial relationships reporting into Absalom.
 
Wentworth, meanwhile, will oversee administrative responsibilities, such as finance, office management, HR and legal functions.

The new appointments follow the departure of UK and Ireland managing director Richard Twynam earlier this year, as well as that of David Winterton, Emerald Cruises’ global director of brand and marketing, who left the group last month as Scenic plans to relocate the company’s UK-based marketing and digital functions to Sydney.

Glen Moroney, chairman and founder of Scenic Group, said: "Recent changes to remove the global functions from the UK and return them back to Australia means the UK team can now be 100% focused on sales and market growth. 
 
"I took the decision not to replace the UK managing director role, and instead promote Nichola and Ian as the senior leaders in the UK to now oversee the UK office’s day-to-day operations, spearhead strategic sales initiatives, and collaborate with key stakeholders to drive growth."
