It is expanding to five with the appointment of Isla Wilson and Amber Eastwood to the positions of partnership development manager, Scotland & Northern Ireland, and partnership development manager, North England, respectively.
Eastwood has a strong background in retail and business development, having held roles at Thomas Cook, Hays Travel, Barrhead Travel, Cruise118 and most recently Red Sea Holidays.
Wilson arrives with a wealth of cruise industry experience.
She is tasked with building new relationships with the Northern Ireland trade as well as taking on the SPAA relationship in Scotland.
Amber will assume responsibility for agents in the North of England.
Along with Sarah Bytheway and Hayley Gadd, who cover the South of England, they will form a dynamic team offering tailored support to travel agents across the UK and Ireland.
They report to Lynsey Roberts, business manager for partnership & regional development.
The expanded team is set to enhance P&O Cruises’ regional presence and strengthen trade relationships.
Ruth Venn, associate vice-president, sales & distribution for P&O Cruises, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Amber and Isla to the team. Their experience will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our partnerships and provide meaningful, localised support.”
Isla and Amber will kick off their official engagements hosting agents on ship visits on Aurora in Liverpool and Greenock, followed by visits to their accounts’ head offices in their regional areas.
