Redfern has been appointed sales and business development manager at Premier, and took up his new post on Monday (27 February).

“Chris is a well-known and respected individual in the travel industry and brings with him considerable trade sales experience," said Goffin. “We are looking forward to welcoming Chris to the team as Premier Holidays continues to support travel agents drive day-to-day trading.”
Redfern added: “I’m really excited to be joining the Premier Holidays team. The business has so many exciting products – I can’t wait to share these with agents and help them to fulfil their full potential promoting such a trade friendly operator."
