Conference Care has announced the appointment of Mark Upham as its new sales director.
Upham brings with him over 20 years of sales experience within the hospitality industry.
Upham said: “I was literally the first salesperson to visit Chris & Andrew in the mid 90’s, and throughout my career I’ve always kept a keen interest in the company. To me Conference Care have always embodied the very best in the industry, with strong customer relationships, an impressive track record of growth, and a great team who I’m really looking forward to working with.”
Upham joins Conference Care from Cycas Hospitality, a European Hotel Management Company. Prior to his role at Cycas Hospitality, he spent 15 years at IHG in a variety of sales leadership roles. As a senior key account director in the European Travel Partner Sales team, Mark led the UK meetings and associations team, and was responsible for sales strategy and effectiveness, including launching the Business Advantage platform, an SME payment solution for UK hotels.
Director of Conference Care, Chris Peacock, added: “I’m delighted to be able to announce this appointment – Mark is a proven leader and someone I’ve always enjoyed working with. He brings a wide range of commercial experience with him, which will be a real benefit both to us and our clients.”
