Over the past week, a group has come out to insist it will be business as usual for agents selling its brands following the departure of a senior figure within its sales operation.

There’s a promotion for a familiar face to many agents, who takes up a new role with a river line bouncing back after a tough period during the pandemic, while another returns after a spell away from the operator sector.

Abta, meanwhile, has named its outgoing head of membership’s successor, with Danny Waine set to leave his role with the association at the end of the year.

We also bring you news of an agent turned BDM taking up a trade-facing role with an Asia specialist, and another who left the agency sector several years ago and is moving into a new trade post.

Finally, there’s been a high profile departure from Travel Counsellors.

So here are the latest major travel trade hires, promotions and job moves over the past week (Wednesday 27 November to Wednesday 4 December).
