Travel industry software solutions provider Midoco has
expanded into the UK market with the appointment of David Chappell as country
director.
In the newly-created role, Chappell will be responsible for
building the profile of the Midoco Group and growing market share for Midoco
mid-office and Umbrella Faces, a profile management system for business travel.
Chappell joins from TMC Fello, where he was IT director, and previously held
the role of head of technology at Gray Dawes Group. Prior to this, he held
several sales roles at Lotus Business Travel and DialAFlight.
Headquartered in Hamburg, Midoco Group said it has
implemented software solutions for multiple UK-based TMCs over the last few
years. According to the group, a rise in demand for improved automation capabilities
prompted it to establish a dedicated role concentrating on the UK market.
Steffen Faradi, managing director of Midoco, said: “Having
worked with David over the past year, I am delighted that he has joined the
Midoco Group to lead our growth in the UK market. The UK is such an important
market for us, and David’s vision and experience in this market along with his
in-depth knowledge of the technology landscape are a perfect fit to drive our
ambitions in the UK.”
