“We committed to refresh the Board following completion of the Company’s demerger, and are delighted to welcome Melanie and Paul. They each bring strong credentials, fresh perspectives and deep experience across a range of sectors. We look forward to welcoming them to Web Travel Group.
At the same time, we’re sad to see Brad Holman leave. Brad has been with us ever since we started building WebBeds. He helped us navigate through both the transition from a founder-led company, and the Covid-19 crisis. He has made a material contribution to the Company for a number of years and on behalf of the Board and shareholders I’d like to thank him.”
