Phillips is making a comeback to the industry after her most recent role as account manager outside of the sector.

Francis says Phillips’ extensive background in travel, including as a travel agent, tour director in the Middle East, corporate airline sales and product manager, will be invaluable to the team.

“Specialising in the Middle East as well as Turkey and Greece, Phillips is arguably the perfect fit for the role, especially as Bunnik Tours is recognised as an industry expert on touring Egypt and the Middle East.”

Phillips says she’s “excited to connect with passionate people and build strong relationships with partners and clients”.
