Gold Medal has announced it has expanded into the Republic of Ireland, extending the operator’s technology, marketing and trade support to agents across the country.
It follows a series of introductory dinners in Dublin, Limerick and Cork, where Managing Director Simon Applebaum and members of the Gold Medal team presented the proposition to agents.
Over the next two weeks, the team will also carry out an intensive ‘sales blitz’, visiting agents across Ireland.
Trade Partnerships Executive Olivia Martin, appointed in December 2025 to support agents in Northern Ireland, will now also cover the Republic of Ireland.
The expansion is further supported by a contact centre team assembled specifically for the Ireland market to help agents package complex tailor–made enquiries.
Simon said: “For nearly five decades, we have supported agents across the UK with specialist knowledge, flexible packaging and award-winning trade support. Extending that partnership to agents throughout Ireland is central to our strategy and reflects our continued commitment to the travel trade.
“We can’t wait to get started meeting agents throughout Ireland, and Olivia’s prior experience means we’re in the best position possible to hit the ground running. She will be helping agents to navigate our product range, maximise earnings, and access the training and incentives that have made Gold Medal a favourite with the UK trade.”
