Former BCD Travel executive Pauline Houston
Serviced apartment provider SilverDoor has appointed Pauline Houston as its new vice president of business development.
Houston was formerly vice president of global commercial enablement at BCD Travel and has 20 years’ experience in TMC, meetings and events, and hotel sales.
SilverDoor group CEO Stuart Winstone said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be welcoming someone with Pauline’s extensive experience to SilverDoor. I can think of very few people who are as well-respected and knowledgeable in corporate travel procurement and booking technology as Pauline.”
Houston said: “As we go through the pandemic, the benefits of serviced apartments are now more widely recognised by travel managers and business travel management companies than ever before. This makes it a very exciting time for me to join SilverDoor, who have always had a very strong reputation in this sector.”
Houston was one of many who left BCD Travel as part of its recent restructuring. During the summer, Houston launched the Hugs UK volunteer support network for people in the business travel sector who were struggling with their well-being or with help to find a new job during the pandemic.
