North America specialist Canadian Affair has appointed Nick Talbot as its Marketing Manager, effective immediately. 

Mr Talbot has joined from Kenwood Travel, where he led the company’s marketing function throughout the pandemic.

However, he is best-known of his role as Sales and Marketing Director at Funway Holidays, where he spent eight years. Funway ceased trading in September last year, at the height of the pandemic, after 27 years in business.

In his new position, Mr Talbot will devise and execute marketing strategies for both Canadian Affair and its sister brand American Affair

He will report directly to MD Chris Hedley.

 “Demand for Canada and the US is surging, and we’re offering more products, locations, and ways to fall in love with North America than ever before,” said Mr Hedley.

“Nick’s expertise and passion for the travel sector will be invaluable as we drive forward into 2022.” 

Mr Talbot added: “I’m looking forward to working closely with Canadian Affair’s and American Affair’s provincial and destination partners, and crucially, with our travel agent partners, to keep Canada and the US at the top of every traveller’s travel to-go list.”
