Nikki McGuire has been named national sales manager, while Jade Evers, Kat Davies and Freya Sutcliffe will each take up new positions as business development managers.

The package holiday specialist is also recruiting for two sales executives to join its 14-strong trade team – with one role covering Scotland and the other the Midlands. 

The news follow the appointment of TTG 30 Under 30 alumnus Lloyd Cross as Jet2holidays’ general manager – trade sales in March.

McGuire will work alongside fellow national sales manager, Simon Marshall, and be responsible for supporting trade consortia and key accounts across the UK, as well as managing a team of trade sales executives and business development managers.

Having previously worked as an independent travel agent before joining Jet2holidays’ trade team eleven year ago, the operator said McGuire “brings a wealth of experience and knowledge” to her new role.

Meanwhile, Evers, Davies and Sutcliffe have also each been promoted. 

Evers has worked at Jet2holidays since 2020 covering the North East of England and Yorkshire, while Davies joined the operator four years ago and is responsible for North Wales and Northern Ireland. 

In her new role, Sutcliffe, who has been with Jet2holidays for more than three years, will continue supporting Jet2’s homeworking agents.

Alan Cross, head of trade at Jet2holidays, said: "By working together with independent travel agents and homeworkers to help them grow their businesses, we are enjoying tremendous success and that is reflected by these four well-deserved promotions that we are announcing today. 

"Making these appointments and creating two vacancies to work alongside our agency partners shows that we are continuing to invest in our Partners2Success strategy. Independent travel agents and homeworkers are a vital sales channel, and we are always looking at how we best deliver a service that supports them with their business growth. 

"Not only are these promotions tremendously well-deserved, but they will enable us to do even more when it comes to working in partnership with independent travel agents and homeworkers."
