Ex-Hays Travel sales BDM joins Intrepid Travel 

Former Hays Travel national sales business development manager Kaigan Lewis has joined Intrepid Travel.

 

He has taken the role of senior partnerships manager (north) in a strengthening of the operator’s agent-facing industry team.

 

Lewis brings more than 11 years of experience in driving ancillary sales growth and leading the development of sales strategies. 

 

He will be responsible for delivering Intrepid’s trade strategy, driving regional growth, and support agent rewards and incentive programmes. 

 

Lewis said: “After recently attending an Intrepid fam trip to Peru, I felt deeply aligned with the company’s values and purpose. 

 

“That experience inspired me to take the leap into my new role. My goal is to bring our agent partners along on the Intrepid journey - helping them understand how their customers can enjoy small group, immersive and inspiring tours that support local communities and create positive change.” 

 

Head of industry partnerships UK and Ireland, Carrie Grant, said: “I’m thrilled to welcome Kaigan to the team - he brings a wealth of experience and positivity. 

 

"His appointment will strengthen Intrepid’s presence across the north and provide agents with even more support as we continue to invest in and drive growth across the region. 

 

“We’ve had a fantastic year, and a large part of our success is down to our amazing travel agents and trade partners. We couldn’t have done this without them. We have so much planned for next year.”
