Regional business travel provider CTI has boosted its senior management team with the appointment of Melanie Quinn as commercial director. Operations director Matthew Lambert’s role has also been expanded and he will take responsibility for travel and hotel operations, in addition to implementation and procurement.
Quinn, who joined CTI in January 2016 as director of client partnerships, will now be responsible for sales, client management and marketing, working alongside CTI’s CEO, Clive Wratten.
She joined from Etihad Airways where she was sales manager, North for almost five years, and was responsible for substantially increasing revenues from the region.
Wratten said: “Melanie has quickly become an extraordinary asset to our growing CTI team since she joined us at the start of this year, and we’re excited that she’ll be able to use her proven expertise to even greater affect in her new role.”
Quinn added that she was “delighted” to be stepping into the new role and looked forward to working with a wider group of people from across the business to drive CTI’s commercial success.
CTI was formed from the merger of the TD Travel Group and Hotelscene in 2013. The agency claims it is now one of the UK’s top 20 corporate travel providers.
CTI has divisions specialising in Corporate Travel, Hotels, Meetings & Events, Marine Travel, and Rail and Sports Travel. The company employs over 150 people across six offices – Manchester, London, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool and Hull.
