Dawn Quinn jumps ship to join Uniworld
Scenic and Emerald Waterways national sales manager Dawn Quinn is to move to Uniworld where she will replace James Howlett as key account manager.
Howlett has moved to a sales position with escorted tour operator Collette.
At Uniworld, Quinn will join a trade team of five, led by UK MD Chris Townson, on September 16. She will report to national sales manager Rachel Healey.
"We’re thrilled to bring Dawn on board, and I’m looking forward to her working closely with our dedicated Uniworld and U account managers to grow our partner relationships even further," said Townson.
"I worked with Dawn at Scenic where she successfully managed the top accounts and secured a number of new relationships. I’ve already spoken to many of our key trade partners and they are delighted to hear Dawn is now working for Uniworld."
Dawn added: "I’m really looking forward to supporting Chris, Rachel and the rest of the team, and introducing this award-winning brand to a new pool of agents in the UK. It’s a pleasure to be working on a brand which is widely recognised as the most luxurious river cruise line in the world, and an operator like U which is bringing cruising to a whole new generation of travellers."
