Changes to senior staff roles in Thomas Cook reshuffle

Thomas Cook has made a number of senior staff changes in its latest reshuffle.

Julie Berry moves from head of cruise to the new role of weddings transformation manager while Torey Kings-Hodkin, who is currently head of retail west, will move into Phil Gardner’s Commercial Sales & Relations division, taking on the role as head of cruise and Disney partnerships.

A spokesman said: “Torey’s experience in retail will be important as we move into the next phase of our cruise partnerships, adding the relationship with Disney into the role is a new and important distinction as they remain a key partner too.”

The new head of retail west role, vacated by Torey Kings-Hodkin, will be filled by Sam Stimpson, Cook’s head of operational development for the Retail and Customer team.

In other changes, former UK finance director Paul Hemingway has been promoted to a new group business change role and Cook has reviewed the reporting line of Freedom, its consortia of independent agents and personal travel advisors.

Kelly Cookes, head of Freedom, will now report to Phil Gardner and form part of the UK’s Commercial Sales & Relations team.
