Holiday expert lands managerial position at experienced travel firm

A high flying travel expert has soared through the ranks, securing a new position as manager at a popular branch.

David Hutchinson, 38, from Farnworth, started his career with Althams Travel as an advisor at the Bolton branch in 2007; after progressing and developing his skills in the industry, he was then promoted to assistant manager and now manager, at the much larger Bury branch.

“I’m absolutely thrilled with my new position, it’s a great step in the right direction in terms of my career progression, and I’m looking forward to continuing working in the busy and bustling branch,” said David.

Althams Travel is an independent, family company dedicated to providing the people of Lancashire, Yorkshire and Humberside with the best comprehensive holiday deals available from leading holiday companies.

With 31 branches in total, the Bury branch is recognised at one of the top 10 branches in terms of sales and figures, a huge accomplishment and a statistic which David is keen to maintain.

Eddie Starkie, managing director said: “We’re committed to providing our employees with the very best career progression programmes; David is very well respected by the staff, and his people and communication skills are exemplary. “The transition into a managerial role takes time, and David has proved just how capable and influential he is to the team at Bury, but also the wider Althams team.”
