Specialist Holidays Group has signed up two former members of Classic Collection’s trade team.
Jorge Quibell, who was Head of Trade Distribution before Classic closed down two weeks ago, has become Head of Trade Partnerships, reporting to Sales Director Simon Garrido.
Kim Sellman, who was Key Account Manager at Classic, joins as Trade Partnerships Manager, working alongside Luke Swarbrook who joined the team last year. She will report to Jorge.
Both are newly created roles.
Specialist Holidays Group’s portfolio includes the American Holidays, Citalia and Sovereign Luxury Travel brands.
Simon said: “I’m delighted that we’ve been able to move quickly to secure these valuable appointments. Jorge and Kim, two respected industry colleagues, bring great knowledge and experience to our trade team.
“Alongside Luke, we can now fast track our trade strategy and promote our brands more widely with our travel partners. This is a great result for everyone involved.”
