New Director Dan Steabler and recently appointed Business Development Manager Aileen Rutherford kicked off their tour in the North East visiting members and managed partners.
The tour will take them around the UK over the coming weeks, with Brilliant business owners and their teams invited to discuss their opportunities, challenges and ambitions for the months ahead.
Former BDM Steabler was last month promoted to the role of Director following long-time Brilliant leader Linda Pyle's retirement at the end of June. Rutherford, meanwhile, joined Brilliant from Jet2holidays in July and will look after managed partners, bringing experience from her four years as a Jet2 BDM and previous to that, from the agency sector in Scotland.
Together, Steabler and Rutherford popped by Home or Away in Easington Lane to see shop owner Linda Thompson, and also met up with Chris Hughes and Sara Marshall from Simply Cruises.
Brilliant said the tour reflected its commitment to delivering hands-on support for its managed partners and ensuring members remain closely connected to the wider Barrhead Travel Group business.
"Dan and Aileen bring a wealth of experience, industry knowledge and genuine passion for supporting our members, and together they are already making a fantastic impact," said Barrhead Managing Director Nicki Tempest-Mitchell.
"Brilliant Travel continues to go from strength to strength. By ensuring our members have the very best support behind them, we can continue to drive growth and create even more opportunities across the network."
Steabler added: "We have a fantastic network of members, a strong vision for the future and an incredible team around us. Our team has been further strengthened by the recent appointment of Aileen Rutherford, who will focus on our managed partners and work alongside Rebecca Price, our Business Development Manager for our home-based specialists.
"There's nothing better than getting out on the road and meeting members face-to-face. These visits are an opportunity to listen, share ideas and ensure we're doing everything possible to support our partners and help them maximise growth opportunities in what is a fast-moving market."
