Qantas Holidays/Viva! Holidays general manager sales to depart after five years.
Helloworld has just confirmed the departure of Fiona Dalton, who has been general manager sales for its Qantas Holidays/Viva! Holidays wholesale division for the last five years.
Helloworld wholesale md Peter Egglestone said Dalton had decided the time was right to leave the business, having been “presented with a significant opportunity to advance her career”.
“This is well-deserved recognition of Fiona’s expertise and also of our Qantas Holidays/Viva! Holidays business as a training ground for highly-skilled, market-leading travel professionals,” Egglestone said.
He said Dalton’s role would be replaced in Sydney as part of the new structure, which will be implemented as the AOT integration proceeds. A recruitment process is under way to secure a replacement, he added.
MEANWHILE Helloworld has also announced that Show Group Enterprises is joining its helloworld for business brand, with recently appointed Helloworld ceo Andrew Burnes saying he was very pleased to see the corporate buying group continuing to attract strong interest from independent corporate agencies throughout Australia.
