Former Tui retail head takes up role at Audley Travel

Former Tui UK & Ireland head of retail Ste Bracegirdle has taken on a new role at Audley Travel.

Bracegirdle, who spent 29 years at Tui including nine in the retail role, left the company last July.

He has now started a temporary consultancy role as business development manager at Audley.

He confirmed the move open the LinkedIn post, saying: “I’m looking forward to supporting the team on business development activities and collaborating with some great people on the way.

“Thanks to Audley Travel for the warm welcome - I’m excited to get started.”

Tui promoted Jill Cunningham to director of retail, omnichannel and third-party sales on the departure of former customer sales and service director Belinda Vazquez last summer. Vazquez has now joined Awaze as director of owner success and growth at Cottages.com.

James Herbert, chief commercial transformation officer at Audley Travel, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Ste to my team, in a role focused on supporting new commercial transformation initiatives.

“Ste brings a wealth of experience with him, which I’m confident will help drive the adoption of new ways of working and a future focused mindset across our organisation.”
