Starting in her new role on 14 April, Jess will help ramp up support for the operator’s agent partners across the sales region.
Head of Sales & Business Development at APT & Travelmarvel Brad Bennetts said: “We are thrilled to welcome Jess to the team. Well-respected within the industry, her experience and passion for river cruising made Jess the perfect choice for leading our trade activity in the Midlands, familiarising agents with the exciting new ships and product innovations that we are launching, and ensuring that our partners in the region continue to be supported with the best of our APT gold standard service.”
Jess said: “I am delighted to be joining APT & Travelmarvel at the start of the 2025 season and to help partners to harness every business opportunity that the elevated fleet and new travel styles have to offer.
“Both brands have a fantastic reputation for delivering exceptional and luxurious cruise and touring experiences, and I look forward to introducing more agents and their clients to these incredible holidays.”
