Chris Garrick has joined the company from STA Travel where he was once a store manager.
The operator runs a total of seven tours in Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia and while closer relationships are on the cards with STA, new agent relationships are being targeted.
Mark Pope, co-founder of TruTravels, said: “We are really pleased to have Chris on board, as it will enable us to have someone dedicated to working with agents, who we see as an integral part of the growth of our business.
“We are currently putting together new training videos for travel consultants around the country, which will be launched in the coming weeks as just one of the tools to assist Chris in building and strengthening our relationship with the travel trade.”
Garrick will also be setting a new TruRO’s agency competition to run in conjunction with the forthcoming Euro 2016 football tournament.
