Barrhead Travel has expanded its marketing team as part of growth plans across the UK and is looking to recruit more.
It has appointed a digital marketing manager, Deborah Green, who was previously marketing manager for Diamond Resorts in the Costa del Sol.
Ryan Dunlop is the agency’s new marketing manager. He has a digital and marketing background, with recent freelance projects including digital producer at BBC and vision content manager for the Commonwealth Games.
Katie Speirits, previously content creator at Scape, joins in the new role of social media manager.
The new additions will report to Nesta Gilliland, who was recently announced as marketing director prior to the acquisition by Travel Leaders Group.

The Glasgow-based team has also welcomed two additional social media executives, an additional senior marketing executive with another marketing executive due to join the team in the coming weeks.
It is still on the lookout for ‘talented, creative and forward-thinking’ individuals to join the newly-created social media sales team as digital sales executives.

Gilliland said: "The continued growth of Barrhead Travel is hugely exciting and the marketing team will continue to expand as a result.
“Specifically, we have bolstered our social and digital teams with significant experience in line with our strategy to provide our customers with a full multi-channel offering.
“Timely and relevant customer communications are key and the expansion of our digital and social teams ensures that we are offering our customers more opportunities to communicate with us via their preferred channel and at a time convenient to them."
