Parent Hotelplan UK said Franklin, who has previously worked for brands including Mark Warner and the former Page & Moy Travel Group, had played a “pivotal role” strengthening key trade partnerships and championing Inghams. 

It described her leadership as having been “instrumental” in elevating the brand’s presence within the travel trade and ensuring agents receive “exceptional” service and support. The company added that “passionate and positive” Franklin left a “strong legacy and a team well-positioned for continued success”.

Franklin plans to take some time off to focus on herself and spend quality time with her family.
