Travel management company ATPI has promoted two members of
its UK-based management team as they take on expanded roles, reflecting the
group’s drive for growth.
Katie Skitterall, currently director of sales and operations
for the UK, takes on the title of group commercial director with immediate
effect. Skitterall, who has been with ATPI for 20 years, will retain her UK
management team role and will take on responsibility for global strategic clients
across all divisions of the business, including Corporate Travel and Marine
& Energy. This also encompasses the Direct ATPI brand, with Skitterall leading travel
management services for multinational organisations.
Meanwhile, group operations director John Nixon is adding
the role of head of UK operations to his portfolio. According to ATPI, Nixon’s
promotion enhances the alignment between the UK and global operations teams and
ensures support for clients anywhere in the world.
Ian Sinderson, CEO of the ATPI Group, said: “ATPI has a
strong track record of nurturing our people to grow their careers and
expertise, adding value to our clients over many cumulative years. Katie and John
drive excellence for their teams and their clients across their respective
portfolios, and I’m thrilled to increase their remit and ensure more of our
clients and our people benefit from their incredible expertise.”
The promotions follow the recent appointment of Pippa
Ganderton as product director of the newly launched ATPI Halo division.
