Dave Green joins JTA Travel
Dave Green has joined JTA Travel as head of operations.
Green was previously director of independent travel for Thomas Cook before joining the Malta Holiday Company/Belleair Holidays as director.
He takes up the newly-created role this week, reporting into JTA managing director Wayne Darrock.
Green will work across the whole portfolio, including Needacruise and MedSun Holidays, but his first project will be to oversee the launch of a dedicated US programme, JTA USA.
Darrock said the US was the group’s top-selling destination despite it not yet having a dedicated programme.
He said Green has been brought in as an additional layer of management after JTA’s rapid growth.
Revenue has grown from £25 million to £60 million in the last five years and a target of £100 million has been set for 2018, he said.
