Carrick, who joins the long-haul specialist after four-and-a-half years with easyJet holidays, took up his new position on Monday (18 May).
The operator said the creation of the new role underlined the importance it places on its trade partnerships and delivering "meaningful support" for agents.
Prior to his spell as one of easyJet holidays' trade distribution managers, Carrick spent more than a decade with Glasgow-based luxury operator If Only, where latterly he held the role of Head of Sales.
