[UKPRwire, Thu Nov 13 2008] Leading travel website, alpharooms.com, has extended its senior team with the appointment of Andy Tilby-Baxter as commercial director.
Andy joins the team at board level and will work closely with founder Jason Fry and marketing director Jamie Shuker to further grow the business and ensure that alpharooms.com continues to offer the best selection of hotels and apartments at the right price in great destinations around the world.
On a day to day basis he will be responsible for overseas product and contracting, liaising with airlines, hotel partners and third party wholesalers to negotiate great deals that provide alpharooms.com customers with unrivalled value for money.
Andy has worked in the travel industry for more than 20 years. He started his career in 1986 as an overseas holiday rep for INTASUN. Since then, he has gone on to hold a number of senior roles at well known travel companies including Airtours, MyTravel, Thomas Cook, Med Hotels and lastminute.com.
Delighted to be joining alpharooms.com, Andy commented: “We have huge opportunities for growth in the dynamic packaging sector and are well positioned to take further market share. The recent XL situation has sorted the men from the boys and the fact we have an ATOL bond will provide customers with the reassurance they’re going to be looking for in these tougher economic times. ”
When not working, Andy remains passionate about travel and enjoys getting away with his family, particularly to destinations that enable them to relax and spend quality time together.
