Management changes at Business Travel Market
Mark Harris of Travel Intelligence Network has left Business Travel Market following the completion of his contract.
Harris and BTM founder Paul Robin linked up in 2008, when the ex-ITM marketing head handed them a remit to help set up, launch and establish the London event.
Harris will now focus on other TIN client projects.
As part of a management reshuffle, BTM has made three new appointments.
Neil Simpson joins as sales director in January from Centaur Media where he was directing Centaur’s Travel Technology Show.
Nikki Stimson becomes marketing and partnerships director, expanding her short term contract involvement in BTM into a permanent role.
Judit Mora has been appointed to a sales and administration support position.
Loraine Holdcroft continues her role as VIP Hosted Buyer Programme director for a third year.
The Operations continue to be looked after by Anna Anson of IQ Events.
Next year’s BTM takes place on June 22 and 23 at London’s ExCel.
