Wendy Wu Tours promotes John Warr and Joe Sutcliffe as co-deputy managing directors

Wendy Wu Tours has promoted John Warr and Joe Sutcliffe as co-deputy managing directors for its UK operations.

Both are currently global directors and will report to group chief executive Joe Karbo, who is acting managing director in the UK following the departure of Laurence Hicks.

Over the past three years, both Warr and Sutcliffe have been a driving force behind the growth in the UK business, with recent 44 per cent record sales increases in the starting months of January and February 2017.

Karbo said: “Both Joe and John are key leaders of the business, and as co-deputy managing directors they will enable our UK operations to further strengthen its hold as the number one inbound tour operator for China and Asia.

“At Wendy Wu Tours, we have a culture of recognising talent for their loyalty and the hard work they give to the company and with Joe Sutcliffe and John Warr, I am proud to have them both leading the business during this exciting time for us,” said Wendy Wu, Founder and Chairperson, Wendy Wu Tours.”
