  • How can we maximise our goal in capturing further market share in this key city?
  • How do we continue to drive and improve a sales culture in the UK team?
  • How do we grow our hotel partnerships and ensure we continue to offer the same level of competitor envying service?

The UK team is made up of a dynamic group of industry-leading talent, with colleagues from some of the global leading travel brands, hotels, and e-commerce companies.  Working as a self-starter but also willing to dive in to offer a helping hand is how we roll! We offer great initiatives in driving both sales and collaboration such as weekends away, job swaps and even a branded cupcake or two!

Things you should know

Warning, working here could affect your ability to book an sub-standard hotel or holiday, you will be regularly visiting the London’s top hotels, so forget all you knew about those mundane hotels, you will never stay there again.

The UK sales team are a well-traveled bunch, so be prepared to trade off a list of recommendations on city hot spots!
