O’Neill to leave Advantage
Advantage Travel Centre’s long-serving business development director Colin O’Neill is to leave early next year.
O’Neill, who has been in the business for 16 yeas, will leave in February following a handover to the executive team.
MD Julia Lo Bue-Said said: "In the years that Colin has been with the business we have seen Advantage develop into the business it is today, with Colin being an integral part of the company’s evolution.
"Following the recent changes to my leadership team with Paul Nunn now director of operations, Nick Moser as finance director and latterly Paula Lacey as group commercial director, I will be recruiting a replacement for Colin, however in a slightly different role."
O’Neill said: "The Advantage central team, the members and business partners have been a key part of my business life for the last sixteen years and the decision to leave is not one that I have taken lightly.
"I will always look back with the greatest fondness on my time within a great organisation surrounded by exceptional people."
