The Scenic Group, which includes Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours and Emerald Cruises, has appointed Louise Tansey as sales manager – central region, to further support its trusted agent partners. Following a huge increase in sales through agents this year, the Scenic Group continues to invest in providing the support and tools that agents require to sell their products.
Joining the newly restructured dedicated trade sales and marketing team of 10, Tansey takes on responsibility for the agent sales functions for the central UK region. Tansey, who commenced her role on 3rd May, reports directly to the recently appointed director of trade sales, Andrea Stafford.
Having held both business development and national sales positions at Bourne Leisure Limited for over 14 years, Tansey moved to Biblio Travel as sales manager last year. She progressed to trade sales manager at Vertical Travel Group where she was responsible for increasing and developing in-house sales across multiple homeworking divisions for Amathus Holidays and Instant Breaks. She brings an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience in travel industry trade sales.
Of the appointment, Tansey commented:
“I’m really looking forward to hitting the ground running in my new role at such a dynamic business. We have so many exciting opportunities for agents in the pipeline and I can’t wait to share these with agents in the central region and help them to fulfil their potential.”
The appointment comes following the news that the group has doubled the size of its agency support team, including the recent promotion of national sales key account manager, Wendi Hardy.
Commenting on the appointment, Stafford adds:
“Louise brings a wealth of experience to our already energetic and dedicated trade support team. Having just joined the team myself a month ago, we have a host of fresh faces joining an already well-established team and we can’t wait to continue to unlock the enormous potential that agents have when working with the Scenic Group brands.”
