ITG appoints Challinor to QLD role
By admin


The Independent Travel Group has appointed Andrew Challinor, formerly of Mobile Travel Agents (MTA), as its new Queensland network manager.

Tomlinson, who held the role of general manager with MTA for the past six years, worked with UTAG/Travelscene American Express before that for more than 18 years.

He replaces Kim Tomlinson who has moved to Emirates to take up the role of regional manager Queensland.

The appointment comes as the independent network ”accelerates” its presence in Queensland, with chief executive Tom Manwaring highlighting Challinor’s industry experience as a “significant benefit”.

ITG’s membership now stands at 225 agencies around Australia, with the first of its italktravel franchise stores to be announced next month.
