Cheevers joins youtravel.com
Youtravel.com has appointed former Teletext Holidays managing director Matt Cheevers as development director.
Cheevers will report directly to group managing director Graham Nichols and will be based in youtravel.com’s offices in Surrey.
Before his time at Teletext Holidays, he was head of holidays at lastminute.com and most recently he undertook a number of consultancy projects in the travel industry.
Nichols said: “I am delighted to welcome Matt onboard. We’re entering an exciting time in the development of the company as we start our fourth year of trading.
“His expertise within third party supply and brand partnerships will prove invaluable as we seek to expand our reach in the UK as well as into our international markets.”
Youtravel.com received an injection of new capital in May after securing funding from Abu Dhabi investors.
“The Abu Dhabi funding and the appointment of Matt puts us in a great position to move forward with our growth plans in the coming months and years,” said Nichols.
