Prestige sales manager leaves for Spain
Prestige Holidays has appointed John Joinson as sales manager after Colin Sanderson decided to move to Spain.
Sanderson, who has been with Prestige Holidays for over 10 years, will leave the company on October 31.
He has set up his own company and will undertake work on behalf of hotels, tourist boards and tour operators, including projects for Prestige Holidays.
He will also carry out the position of PR and accounts manager for BRIGHT, which he co-founded some five years ago.
Joinson joined Prestige Holidays in June and will take over responsibility for the company’s four business development managers, but will also be looking to grow the sales force and reservations department.
He previously worked for Thomson Holidays, Meon Villa Holidays, Alamo Rent A Car and Worldspan.
