Accommodation specialist Stuba has boosted its UK sales team with a new Business Development Manager and the creation of a new Partnerships Manager role.

Lynsey Buntine has become BDM for Scotland and north England, while Nigel McShine-Jones has become Partnerships Manager.

Lynsey has a background in business travel, including roles at Munro’s Travel and CWT.

Nigel has worked in sales roles at Delta Airlines, Merlin Entertainments Group and TUI Musement, among others. He has also run his own travel and tourism consultancy. He briefly left the travel industry after COVID and his latest role was with Halfords as a Senior Client Development Manager.

He will work with hotel partners, tourist boards, and tech partners globally, reporting to Head of Marketing Sarah Clayton-Turner.

Lynsey said: “I’m really looking forward to getting out on the road, meeting our agents, and helping them with their accommodation requirements.

“I’m excited to connect with existing partners and bring new agents on board, especially given Stuba’s reputation and longevity.

Nigel said: “I’m genuinely ecstatic to be back in an industry that I love, one that is very much in my DNA. I look forward to reconnecting with the industry to explore the many tremendous opportunities to work with us.”
