Ten former Baldwins Travel staff, including its marketing and commercial manager Lester, have joined Surrey’s Ashdown Travel as it prepares to expand into Kent with new shops in Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks opening “in the next couple of weeks”.
Lester took up the position of head of retail at Ashdown Travel on Thursday 24 July and will be based in its new Tunbridge Wells shop when it opens.
She told TTG she had been working with Ashdown – a member of the Advantage Travel Partnership – for “a couple of months” to find new jobs for nine ex-Baldwins employees after the agency approached her on LinkedIn.
