The Focus Travel Partnership has appointed three new directors to its existing board.
Tina Rose, MD of Chartwell Travel (part of the Ovation Group acquired by Amex GBT a year ago), Nick Scott, MD of arrangeMy and Mark Colley, MD of Sunways Sustainable Business Travel, join existing board members.
The Partnership board, led by CEO Abby Penston, is made up exclusively of its TMC partners as well as non-exec chairman Adrian Parkes.
Penston said: “The appointment of these three new directors is a huge leap forward for the Focus Travel Partnership. Each new director brings with them a wealth of experience, from which I am certain, will greatly contribute to an already successful Board. Tina has a strong and solid background in business travel as well as the Focus Travel Partnership. She brings an insight from the larger TMC arena which will greatly support the Partnership’s vision for growth.
“Mark’s career has included roles in investment banking, hospitality and marketing. Mark has played an integral role within the Focus Tech Steering Group for five years, supporting the Partnership through innovative technology. Nick has continually grown the arrangeMy business and brand, including throughout the pandemic. This entrepreneurial mindset will assist in driving the Partnership into 2022 and far beyond. Nick has a wealth of experience with associations, having held senior positions with the HBAA.”
