Monarch Holidays has appointed a new national account manager to its trade sales team. 

Jodie Stuart has joined the team this week, reporting into Simon Garrido, head of trade sales.

She will be looking after a number of Monarch’s key trade partners and working closely with the recently appointed, field-based business development executives to develop relationships and further increase sales.

Stuart joins Monarch following positions at Saga and Cruise & Maritime Voyages.

Garrido said: “We are delighted to welcome Jodie to the Monarch Holidays team. She has great travel and trade knowledge and her experience gained from previous roles will enable a swift transition into Monarch. We know that she will be a great asset to the team.”
