Lorraine will report to Nicki Tempest-Mitchell, who was recently promoted to the role of Head of Trade Sales UK & Ireland – reporting directly to Jo Rzymowska, Associate Vice President and General Manager.
Jenny Rafter will continue in her role as Major Account Manager, reporting directly to Lorraine Quinn.
Travel industry veteran Michael English will remain dedicated to Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises as Head of Sales, reporting directly to Nicki Tempest-Mitchell. The new structure will increase Michael’s responsibility to ensure an increased presence for Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises throughout the organisation and among the trade.
