Two senior appointments at Snaptrip
Last-minute rental property provider Snaptrip.com has appointed Josh James as chief operating officer (COO) and Matthew Witt as Board director.
James joins the business with 12 years of digital marketing experience, having worked across brands including VoucherCodes.co.uk, Quidco, EarnAway and Moneyfarm.
His appointment brings the London-based team, launched in 2014, to 18 staff members.
He said: "Over the past four years the Snaptrip.com team has laid an incredibly strong foundation upon which to grow. I can’t wait to work with such an enthusiastic group of people and get stuck in.
"With more and more people choosing to take a staycation rather than go abroad it felt like the perfect time to join and I’m really looking forward to making my mark and harnessing the huge potential of Snaptrip.com. The road is seldom straight but I’m sure we’ll overcome anything that stands in our way."
New Board director and investor Witt has a strong background in travel, having been COO of Active Hotels, and played an instrumental role in rebranding it into Booking.com where he then worked as COO for a further six years.
