Review Travel furthers growth plans with two new hires

Leading UK travel management firm, Review Travel, has added to its expanding team with two new appointments.

Mike Jones has been appointed senior business development manager, whilst James Gilmour has stepped into the role of business travel manager.

Joining the business from CTI Travel, and having amassed over 18 years of travel and business development experience in senior sales and strategy roles, Mike will support Review Travel’s board of directors with its growth strategy. Mike’s role will centre on identifying new business opportunities and building on already well-established industry relationships.

James, who has worked in the travel industry for almost 30 years, will manage teams at Review Travel’s Blackpool and Cheshire offices, as well as oversee the management and development of Review Travel’s award-winning booking tool, OrBiT.

The appointments coincide with news of Review Travel’s record £14.8million turnover for 2017, as the Cheshire-headquartered business plans an ambitious acquisition strategy for 2018.

Commenting on the new appointments, Christian Gleave, CEO at Review Travel, said:

“Our recent growth and ambitious acquisition plans make it critical to recruit the right people. Mike and James both bring extensive industry experience, and will play instrumental roles in helping us grow and maintain the exceptional level of customer service that we’re known for.

“This is an exciting time for Review Travel as we expand, adding more services and cutting edge technology to our offering.”
