Singer replaces Richard Francis who is moving to the role of deputy chief financial officer, Monarch Group.

Francis will remain on the group executive committee with a focus on the finances of the airline, holidays and engineering divisions of the group.

Elsewhere, Richard Jewsbury has joined the business in the newly-created position of chief corporate development officer, Monarch Group.

Jewsbury has more than 20 years’ commercial airline experience, most recently with Emirates as head of projects and performance development within the enterprise transformation team.

Singer said: “I’m delighted be joining the Monarch team at such an exciting phase in its 50 year history.

“To become part of one of the most respected and well-known brands in travel is a tremendous opportunity. I’m looking forward to using my experience in marketing, product and distribution to ensure that Monarch Holidays becomes an even more significant part of the group.”

Commenting on the changes to his executive team, Andrew Swaffield, Monarch chief executive said: “I would like to welcome both Richard Jewsbury and Richard Singer to the Monarch team and the Group Executive Committee.

“We are very excited to have them on board to help us with the next very exciting part of the Monarch journey as we prepare to take delivery of our new aircraft, celebrate our 50th anniversary and grow Monarch Holidays.

“Both of them bring a wealth of industry experience to the business with proven track records and considerable skills. Together with our existing Executive Committee members, I know that we now have an excellent team in place to accelerate the development of the company in the coming years.”
