Almond Resorts Doubles Its UK Sales Team
Release Date: Friday, June 16, 2006
Almond Resorts, the premier all-inclusive hotel group of the Caribbean, has appointed two new sales executives in the UK, doubling the existing two person sales team. These appointments highlight both the increased success of the hotel group within the UK as well as the growth of the hotel's portfolio. Suzanne Spike has joined the Almond Resorts sales team to train up agents in the South of England whilst Fiona Boss is in charge of the Midlands region.
Suzanne has fourteen years experience in sales roles and joins Almond Resorts from the Mirror Group Newspapers where she gained much of her experience in sales, merchandising and promotions. Fiona brings with her eight years of retail travel experience, including an eighteen-month period as Branch Manager for First Choice Travel Shops.
Suzanne and Fiona join Barbara Dixon, sales manager for the North of England and will also report in to Tracey Dyson, Business Development Manager.
Tracy Dyson comments: "We are extremely pleased to have Suzanne and Fiona joining the Almond team and with their knowledge of both sales and travel are confident that they will make a valuable addition to the sales team.
"UK sales for Almond Resorts have grown by 10% over the last year and with the addition of our newly opened property on St Lucia and our third property Almond Casuarina Beach Resort on Barbados due to open at the end of this year; we are anticipating our bookings to double from the UK and thus needed to expand our sales team to meet demand from agents.
