Chris, whose travel industry career spans 16 years, will be responsible for looking after agents in the west of England at the Cambridgeshire-based tour operator.
Starting today (27 February), he will report into Director Of Sales and Marketing Debbie Goffin and work alongside Karen Milward, who oversees the east of England.
