Gold Medal Travel Group has appointed its first Ireland-based Trade Partnership Executive.
Olivia Martin joins from Terra Travel and will work with agents based in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Olivia said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the Gold Medal team and being part of a trade-only brand that genuinely champions travel agents. Being the first Trade Partnerships Executive on the ground in Northern Ireland is a real achievement for me, and a great opportunity to enhance the strong relationships that are already in place through dedicated and visible support for Ireland-based partners.”
Gold Medal Managing Director Simon Applebaum said: “We know from speaking to our agent partners that having a presence on the frontline makes all the difference.
“Agents in Ireland deserve someone at the end of the street, not just the end of a phone or via email, and we believe the best way to show our commitment to our Ireland-based agents is to give them a dedicated person who is based in their market and can visit them when they need, sit with them at their desks, and really understand the challenges and opportunities that they encounter, supporting them when – and where – they need it the most.”
Gold Medal appointed its first Trade Partnerships Executive 18 months ago, and the team has already grown to six.
