Aspire adds staff and moves base
XL Leisure Group luxury operating brand Aspire has relocated its headquarters to Southgate in London and taken on extra staff.
Neil Gregory, formerly with Key 2 Holidays, Travelpack and The Destination Group, has joined in the newly combined role of head of product and marketing.
Clare Stuart is appointed senior sales manager with experience gained at Bridge the World, Travelbag and Ebookers. Lorraine Brodrick, previously at Kuoni London Destination Management, takes the newly-created role of product and marketing executive. The operator’s sales consultant team has also been expanded.
Despite the move of base, Aspire will continue to maintain a presence at its former office in Crawley, where a reservations team will remain. The reservations contact number remains 0845 458 9455 and the website is unchanged at www.aspireholidays.co.uk.
Managing director Gianni Bonuglia said: “With the launch of our third year-round travel programme, I am delighted to welcome the new team members who join Aspire as we enter an exciting period. We plan to build on the success and strong brand awareness by broadening our range of stunning, contemporary properties and to introduce a number of dedicated, destination-focused lifestyle brochures over the coming months to increase our product offering.”
