UK-based Simplexity Travel Management has promoted Mark Smith to managing director to lead the company’s “next phase of expansion”.
Smith, who has been working at Simplexity for 15 years, previously held the positions of business development manager and head of business development.
“His extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of the industry will be instrumental in driving Simplexity Travel's next phase of expansion,” said the TMC in a statement.
