Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours and Emerald Cruises & Tours have announced the appointment of Leiza Sullivan as sales manager for the North and Midlands, effective immediately.

In the role, Leiza will manage and build relationships with retail and independent agents and provide support for trade events and visits, training sessions and marketing. She will report to Jonathan Davies, head of sales at Scenic Group.

Leiza was most recently regional sales manager at Sani/Ikos Group and has previously worked at brands including APT Travel Group, Avalon Waterways and Jet2 Holidays.

Leiza Sullivan said: “I’m delighted to join the Scenic and Emerald trade team and can’t wait to reconnect with my agent partners in the North and the Midlands.”

Jonathan Davies said: “Leiza brings a wealth of industry knowledge and a strong track record of working closely with the trade, making her a fantastic addition to the Scenic and Emerald Cruises trade team. She will be instrumental in developing and nurturing partnerships with retail and independent agents, while delivering valuable support through training, events and marketing initiatives.”

The appointment brings the Scenic and Emerald trade team to 12.

Scenic recently launched a new trade incentive to win an eight-day Mediterranean cruise. The incentive, running until February 16, has been introduced to coincide with the new six-part ‘Jane McDonald: From Pole to Pole’ series, filmed onboard Scenic and Emerald Cruises, and airing on Channel 5. To be in with a chance of winning, travel agents need to make a new Scenic Ocean or Emerald Yacht Cruises booking.

In addition, the cruise lines are giving travel agents the opportunity to earn double River Rewards & More points for all new ocean and river cruise bookings made until February 16.
