Overseas wedding specialist creates new role
Overseas wedding specialist Perfect Weddings Abroad has appointed Liz Grant to a newly-created position of head of product and business development.
Grant joins from the retail and bridal industry where she worked for a number of well-known brands including Pronuptia, Laura Ashley and most recently Whitewall Galleries.
In her new role, she will oversee the expansion of the company’s Specialist and Ambassador Scheme across the UK, the development of its honeymoon business, PerfectHoneymoonsAbroad.co.uk, and enhance new products.
She will report in to directors Helen Doyle and Danny Waine
Waine said: “The fact that Liz is not from a travel background is already giving us a buzz, as she’s challenging the way that we do things and throwing in to the mix things we’d not previously considered.”
Perfect Weddings Abroad & Perfect Honeymoons Abroad is part of the Destination Weddings Travel Group.
