Fred. Olsen Travel Appoints Julie Berry as New Managing Director

#Traveltradetogether

Fred. Olsen Travel has announced the appointment of Julie Berry as its new Managing Director.

Berry, who joined Fred. Olsen Travel in the spring, steps into the role with a wealth of industry experience and a clear vision for the future of the business. Prior to joining Fred. Olsen Travel, she spent six years in consulting roles for various companies across a range of industries, including Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines. Before that she spent over 20 years at Thomas Cook, holding senior roles across tour operating, commercial, cruise, customer experience and transformation.

The appointment follows the retirement of Steve Williams earlier this year and an interim period which saw Sam Stimpson, Chief Executive of Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, take on the role of acting Managing Director. During this period, there was a thorough review of the business which has helped to identify areas of strength and opportunities for growth that Berry will now take forward.

Belinda Mindell, Chair of Fred. Olsen Travel Ltd, comments: “I’m delighted to welcome Julie to Fred. Olsen Travel and am confident that under her strong leadership the business will continue to thrive. I would also like to thank Sam for all her support during this transition, managing both her existing role with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines as well as supporting Fred. Olsen Travel. Her contribution has been much appreciated.”

Julie Berry adds: “I’m excited to be joining Fred. Olsen Travel and to build upon the exceptional work done by Steve Williams and the team. We have an incredibly talented team in place and I look forward to working with them all in order to further grow the business.”
