Intrepid Group has expanded its number of business development managers across the UK, with more employees out on the road. 

The adventure travel operator has appointed Philippa Baines as business development manager for the Midlands.

Baines will be visiting agents across the Midlands to assist with training, enquiries and bookings, as well as adding to the continued support Intrepid offers its agents.

Having worked both as a travel agent, and as a BDM for The Global Travel Group, Explore Worldwide and most recently for Wendy Wu Tours, Philippa has several years’ experience within the travel industry.

She said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the Intrepid team and can’t wait to get out on the road to share its inspiring worldwide adventures with travel agents. Small group responsible travel is such a fast-growing market and I’m looking forward to becoming part of such a trade friendly, and forward thinking company.”

She will be hosting the operator’s upcoming fam trip to Costa Rica from 30 November to 8 December. Agents can register for a spot on the trip at IntrepidLovesAgents.com
