Molly Cofman-Nicoresti and Gaynor Atherton will work with Jess Bain, director and head of trade, who will continue to serve London and the South East. Atherton will work with agencies in North Wales, the North and Scotland, while Cofman-Nicoresti will focus on the South West, the Midlands, the East and Ireland.

The new trade representatives will work closely with agents to provide in-depth training on South America, host events and assist agents generally.

Bain said: “Molly and Gaynor are a positive and energetic pair and I am thoroughly looking forward to working with them. The roles are an important next step in the growth of Latin Routes. The trade has been crying out for us to have an expanded trade presence; Molly and Gaynor will be the key to us delivering the necessary support.”

Latin Routes specializes in tailor-made holidays and also operates the Polar Routes brand, offering small ship cruises.
