Business is good over at FCTG Independent. So good in fact, the group has just recruited a new sales team member and is on the hunt for at least one more.
Effective immediately, Nichole Steadman has joined FCTG Independent Australia as a business development partner.
Based in Brisbane, Steadman’s role will be to connect with travel agents and partners and grow awareness of the FCTG Independent brand in Australia.
Steadman most recently worked in a corporate travel position with the Australian Government’s Future Fund Management Agency. Before this, she held a 16-year tenure at The Travel Corporation (TTC).
“I can’t wait to get my feet under the desk and join this exciting, rapidly growing business within FCTG,” she said.
“My ability to build trusting relationships with key stakeholders has been vital to my success in the travel industry.
“I pride myself on my reputation as a trusted business advisor and collaborator with an extensive portfolio of industry connections.”
Perfect fit
FCTG Independent sales director said the group was “thrilled to welcome Nichole to the sales dream team”.
“With an impressive track record in business development, exceptional ability to forge relationships and a passion for the travel industry, Nichole is ready to embrace the future at FCTG Independent with enthusiasm and determination,” she said.
“Nichole is the perfect addition to our team as we embark on our next phase of growth.
“With her outstanding skills, experience, and enthusiasm, I know she will make a remarkable impact on our sales efforts and the overall success of our company.”
With over 1,700 independent agencies across Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada and South Africa, FCTG Independent Australia comprises Travel Partners, Travel Associates at Home, Travel Associates franchise and Flight Centre Independent advisors.
According to the group, FCTG Independent saw huge growth in network size and also TTV over the past few years.
Consequently, it is also looking for another Business Development Partner to join its team in Melbourne.
Last month, FCTG Independent revealed the three travel advisors who would join an exclusive famil with The Travel Corporation Tour Brands.
