Former Thomas Cook head of retail Tempest-Mitchell worked with Barrhead on a consultancy basis following Cook’s collapse in September 2019.


She joined Barrhead permanently in 2021, tasked with ensuring the agency made the strongest possible recovery from the pandemic.


Her appointment to the newly created managing director post follows Barrhead president Jacqueline Dobson’s promotion in June to president of Internova Leisure, a division of Barrhead’s US parent Internova Travel Group.
