Just You has appointed Ashley Walker as the tour operator’s trade channel support manager, effective immediately.
Walker has worked in the travel industry for a decade, previously holding various roles at Riviera Travel, including business development executive and senior trade support executive.
“I’m incredibly excited to begin this new chapter with Just You, a brand with a reputation for creating memorable travel experiences in the solo travel space, which is booming,” Walker said. “I’m looking forward to adding my experience to the team and supporting our valued trade partners.”
Walker will be the central point of contact for group booking enquiries and take responsibility for driving process improvements that reduce administrative requirements for the sales team, enabling them to spend more time visiting agents and developing relationships.
He will be based at the head office in the UK, reporting to trade sales director Tom Morgan, and will support Just You team members around the world including Australian senior key account manager Natalie Chappell who is based in Melbourne.
“Ashley brings a wealth of trade experience to the position and will play a pivotal role in boosting our efficiency and helping our sales team spend more time supporting our agent partners,” Morgan said. “We’ve invested in our trade team over the last couple of years and this appointment is yet more evidence of our commitment to agents.”
