lastminute appoints new trade brand boss
Online Travel Company sales director Vic Darvey is to replace Carol Dray as head of lastminute.com trade brand holidayandmore.com.
He takes up the new role as general manager tomorrow (Sept 1) after Ms Dray became flights director for lastminute in a recent management shake-up.
Mr Darvey, who has had the sales role at lastminute-owned OTC for six years, also takes responsibility for Globepost Flight Services, described as the “backbone” of the holidayandmore trade proposition.
Holiday Autos sales director Ian Coyle is also taking on additional responsibility as sales director for holidayandmore.com.
Lastminute group commercial director Andrew Windsor said: “OTC’s sophisticated dynamic packaging online technology and holidayandmore.com’s new ‘breakbuider’ trade offering – including a leisure and gift product stream – means there is a natural synergy between Vic’s existing role and his new responsibilities as head of the lastminute.com trade product.”
