Kings-Hodkin joined Royal in February as head of key accounts following 27 years at Thomas Cook.
In her new role as head of UK sales, she will continue to manage the team of key account managers and oversee the overall UK sales function, also supported by head of field sales, Karen Tucker.
Kings-Hodkin will report into Royal’s senior director for UK & Ireland, Spain and Nordics, Stuart Byron, and work alongside Jennifer Callister and Sergio Arevalo, the line’s heads of sales for Ireland and Spain.
MacKinnon - who joined Royal in April 2019 - will continue in his role until the end of July before leaving in August to purse a new opportunity with a global drinks company, where he will lead its global travel retail business.
