Martin Page has joined as a new Key Account Manager. Martin will be field-based and manage a number of accounts, to help them grow their Riviera Travel business and develop new relationships.
He was previously Strategic Account Manager at Classic Package Holidays. Prior to this, he was Business Development Manager for trade sales at Attraction Tickets.
Ashley Walker will be re-joining Riviera as Agency Sales Administrator. Ashely will be office-based and cover agent questions and enquiries.
He will additionally work alongside Darren Mussell, Assistant Manager of Agency Sales, and the on-the-road Riviera team, to help grow the firm’s group business.

Martin and Ashley will report to Thomas Morgan, Head of Agency Sales UK & Ireland. Riviera’s trade team is now eight-strong.
Martin said: “It’s an exciting time to be joining the Riviera Travel team; with a well-established portfolio, I can proudly go to our agent partners armed with award-winning products. I can’t wait to be back out on the road.”
Tom said: “‘I am delighted to have Martin and Ashley joining the agency sales team. Martin is well-known and respected amongst agents and will be a massive asset.
