McCreadie brings more than 20 years of experience in the travel industry, joining from Bedsonline, where she worked as account director for north UK and Ireland. Her career also includes roles with Avro, Cosmos Holidays, Somewhere2stay and Cosmos Tourama.

In her new easyJet holidays position, McCreadie will oversee the Scotland and Northern Ireland regions, working closely with travel agent partners to support growth.

"We’re thrilled to have Nicola join Team Orange," said Natasha Marson, head of trade distribution at easyJet holidays. "She brings a wealth of experience that will support our big ambitions and benefit our brilliant travel agent partners in Scotland and Northern Ireland."

The trade team will also take to the road later this month for the first events in its Team Orange On Tour roadshow series, visiting cities across the UK including Southampton, Newcastle, Sheffield, Birmingham and Glasgow. Registration for each event opens six weeks before it takes place, with travel agents able to sign up online.

This follows the news that easyJet holidays had celebrated its "largest-ever January booking period", with customer numbers up by a fifth year-on-year.
