Funway Holidays is looking for new recruits to take the lead on its newly launched Canada programme.
As revealed by TTG last month, the US, Mexico and Caribbean specialist has taken the bold step of expanding further into North America in partnership with Air Canada Vacations.
Now, a recruitment drive is under way to get the partnership off the ground.
Funway is looking for regional sales manager for the north and Scotland, a commercial executive, product executive and aftersales agent.
Val Bown, Funway Holidays HR manager, said: "With challenging and exciting times ahead, not least following our launch of Air Canada Vacations by Funway, we are really concentrating on expanding our team and seeking talented and experienced individuals to bring energy and passion to our business, to complement and complete our team."
Bown said the launch of the Canada programme and the success of Funway’s Mexico and Caribbean programme, launched in 2016, had necessitated the expansion.
Funway said the appointments would help the operator grow relationships with agents, and give greater focus to supporting and strengthening new and existing relationships.
Key account manager Sam Orbell recently joined Funway’s on-the-read sales team, while Hannah Zajac has come onboard as agency sales executive.
