      Bedsonline has announced Gemma Walker as a new Key Account Manager for Ireland.

      Gemma is bringing over 20 years of industry experience with her, having begun her journey in the travel industry at Thomas Cook followed by 11 years as an Account Manager in an escorted tourism business. She will play a pivotal role in the Bedsonline Irish market and the Bedsonline team are excited for all that she will help set into motion.

      In a recent introductory interview, Ms Walker said: “My greatest career achievement so far has been building a relatively unknown brand into a market-leader in escorted tours, working closely with travel agent partners to build an understanding of the support they need and the products they want.”

      “I enjoy working with a great portfolio of products, and I’m looking forward to being able to take Bedsonline’s fantastic offering into Ireland. I’m super excited to meet Bedsonline clients, gain an understanding of each branch’s needs and building relationships. I also can’t wait to try a proper pint of Guinness!“

      Incentive

      To celebrate this fact, Bedsonline has launched an incentive for their valued Irish customers – a €1000 giveaway for all Bedsonline bookings created from now, up to the end of October 2024!

      • Booking Window: Present – End of October 2024
      • Travel Window: Arrivals now up to 31st Dec 2024

      The lucky winner will be announced on 7 Jan 2025. Good luck everyone!
