Explore has announced the recruitment of Jae Hopkins, who will take up the role of marketing director at the company on January 4th.
Hopkins joins Explore from a long-established career in marketing, including marketing director roles at Exodus Travels and Eurotunnel.
Most recently, she helped found disruptive start-up Ultimate Travel Club – a members’ club for commission-free travel.
Michael Edwards, managing director at Explore, commented: “I’m delighted to welcome Jae to the team at what is a pivotal time for the business.
“Jae brings a wealth of experience both within and beyond the travel industry, and a passion for mentoring and development.
“Explore has proven itself to be a company that not only leads the way in creating unforgettable travel experiences, but also does the right thing by its customers – in tough times as well as good.”
Part of the Hotelplan group, Explore is a leading adventure travel specialist that celebrated 40 years of operation earlier this year.
