Evolution Travel Collective welcomes another national BDM
Edited by Travel Weekly


    After announcing two new brand partnerships earlier this year with Explore Worldwide and Rail Online, Evolution Travel Collective (ETC) has now added to their expanding team with another national business development manager.

    The new BDM, Chris le Roux, will start with ETC this month and joins the team of five.

    Ingrid Berthelsen, ETC’s managing director and co-founder, said she was excited to have someone of le Roux’s calibre join their growing business.

    “Chris has been a successful BDM with a number of respected industry brands including Bench Africa, Globus, On the Go & Contiki and we are absolutely delighted to welcome him to our team here at ETC. His experience with such a wide product mix makes him the perfect match to understand the needs of our brand partners,” Berthelsen said.

    “Working closely with our Melbourne based National BDM, Michelle Daniels, Chris will be based in QLD giving us an even greater reach across the country with our national team of highly experienced industry staff.”

    Le Roux added: “I’m excited to reconnect with all the agents I know from my past roles as well as the opportunity to meet new agents in this national role with ETC. Being part of a small but growing business was something that was important to me when stepping back into the travel industry so I am really looking forward to joining the ETC team.”
