Victory, who joins the agency after three years with Holidaysplease, will work alongside fellow business development manager Beth Palmer and head of sales Darren Bien.

Designer Travel co-owner Karen Pocock said: “Providing our network of associates with the tools to help them consistently grow their businesses is such an important part of what we do. It’s not just about training and development it’s about innovation and playing to the strength of each team member.

"We want to enthuse the associates with the work that we undertake centrally, both in terms of general marketing and via social media channels, giving them the confidence to be more creative when it comes to navigating the way forward for them.”

Victory added: “Hearing the plans and innovative ideas Amanda and Karen have for the future of the business is very exciting, so it’s a brilliant time to join this forward-thinking team and contribute to their vision.”
