Moves this week see a well-known trade-only operator bring in a fresh face to spearhead a new trade distribution channel, while another trade-friendly brand – with big ambitions to make an even bigger splash with agents – has hired a new global sales lead, who has a message for the trade on this side of the pond.

Elsewhere, Premier Holidays has taken on an experienced industry figure to refresh its long-haul offering and lead it into the future, and there is change at the top at Hoseasons parent Awaze, which has appointed a new chief executive with experience from spells with Costa Coffee and Sainsbury’s.

So here are the latest major travel trade hires, promotions and job moves over the past few weeks (Wednesday 2 July to Wednesday 9 July).
