Travel Counsellors strengthens business travel team

Homeworking specialist Travel Counsellors for Business has boosted its team by appointing Karen Crick as a corporate account manager.

Crick, who has previously held roles at CTM, Radius and online booking tool GetThere, will have responsibility for working with Travel Counsellors’ top corporate travel agents and their SME clients.

Manchester-based Travel Counsellors recently revealed its top 10 business owners in the UK, with nine of them running corporate travel businesses.

“It’s exciting to join Travel Counsellors for Business as the corporate travel wing grows from strength to strength,” said Crick.

“I’m looking forward to playing a part in the positive trajectory corporate travel is taking at Travel Counsellors, and the many individuals behind its ongoing success.”

Travel Counsellors for Business is now led by Mel Quinn who was promoted to the role of director of corporate travel in May 2024.

“Karen brings a wealth of experience with her and we’re sure our corporate Travel Counsellors will take full advantage of her skillset to support their businesses, as well as the individual travel requirements of their clients,” said Quinn.

In another move, Travel Counsellors has appointed Jon Hardcastle as a business performance manager specialising in the luxury travel market.

Earlier this month, former Travel Counsellors for Business managing director Kieran Hartwell joined Reed & Mackay, which is part of Navan, as global chief revenue officer.
