travelsupermarket.com announces new managing director
Travel comparison website, travelsupermarket.com, is delighted to announce the appointment of Graham Donoghue as its new managing director.
Graham is due to start work at the company’s Flintshire offices in July, bringing with him over 15 years experience in the travel industry. After an initial focus on understanding the group’s business model, Graham’s key responsibilities will be to pick up the baton from former managing director Chris Nixon and to grow and develop the business.
Graham previously held the position of new media director with TUI TRAVEL PLC, the world’s largest tourism organisation and is highly regarded within the UK and European travel sector. Graham was a member of the TUI UK Board and was responsible for brands such as Thomson.co.uk, Firstchoice.co.uk and Thomsonfly.com, managing a team of 120 staff. He took online share of passenger sales from two percent to over 55 percent in 2007 and TUI to the most visited travel sites in the UK.
Graham said: “I am really excited to be working for a business with such a focus on innovation and entrepreneurialism. Still a young plc, the business has achieved so much in such a short space of time. I am looking forward to applying my experience and knowledge of the travel industry to the company.”
Simon Nixon, Chief Executive of Moneysupermarket.com Group PLC, said: “I am delighted we have attracted such a talent to the moneysupermarket.com Group. Graham’s reputation precedes him, I know how well respected he is within the travel sector and I look forward to working with him.”
After a short handover with Graham, current acting managing director Chris Nixon will be leaving the group on a sabbatical of up to one year, after which he is expected to return to take up an alternative post in the business.
