Holiday Extras Appoints interim finance chief

An interim finance chief has been drafted in by Holiday Extras as the company moves into the next phase of expansion.

Deborah Stevenson is joining the Kent-based add-ons company almost a year after an MBO valued Holiday Extras Group at £100 million.

She has previously worked for privately-held and private equity-backed businesses to those listed on the London and Australian stock exchanges.

Holiday Extras continues to look for a permanent CFO to replace Andrew Parker, who left last month to spend more time with his family.

Since the MBO, the group’s companies – which include Chauntry, Park-IT and Airparks – have clinched new deals with international airports in the US, UK, Canada and continental Europe.

Group CEO Matthew Pack said: “Deborah is precisely the person we need to oversee our financial operations as we move into the next phase of our ambitious five-year growth strategy.

“Holiday Extras Group has come a long way in 36 years by building and acquiring a portfolio of businesses that complement and support one another in the airport and parking technology sector.

“This calibre of financial oversight at group level will help us co-ordinate those businesses and thus support our growing, global network of airport customers as we work with them to roll out new technologies and solutions.”

Stevenson added: “The company has a clear vision for the future and a great vibrant culture, combining the latest technology with helpful, human touch points to support its customers.”
