Hays Travel recruits development manager from Travel Counsellors
Hays Travel’s homeworking division has recruited Alicia Redgrave as business development manager from rival Travel Counsellors where she held a similar role.
The appointment comes in the same week that the company launched a new homeworker recruitment advertising campaign and accompanying recruitment brochure.
She said she left Travel Counsellors after two years “to take my career to another level”.
Redgrave, whose eight years industry experience also includes time at Airtours Holidays and the Global Travel group, said: “I have always been in Business Development and love the challenge of helping people to build their business through various channels, based on what their needs are.
“I particularly enjoy providing bespoke training to ensure I am able to help people ‘fix’ the main areas in which they lack confidence, whatever they might be.
“I decided to Leave Travel Counsellors after just over two years as I wanted to take my career to another level. Hays seemed the perfect company for me, as it not only has a fantastic reputation within the travel industry, but it’s also a company that cares about it’s people and invests heavily to ensure everyone can be a success in what they do.”
Gemma Morrell, acting homeworker general manager at Hays Travel, said: “Alicia’s role is to oversee and help the development of the Personal Travel Consultant homeworkers, to share ideas and develop individual business plans, working closely with local marketing; building up repeats and own business etc.
“As business development manager Alicia will also work in conjunction with the homeworker support team at head office, as well as with homeworker team leaders, to try and drive forward and develop team business and profits.
“Alicia will be looking to carry out regional seminars, briefing and training sessions with our PTC homeworkers, on various aspects of business and personal development.”
