UK: Week2Week Serviced Apartments has appointed Julie Inglis as corporate sales executive, to grow its corporate lettings business in the north-east of England.
With 13 years in the sector, primarily in her home city of Aberdeen, Inglis is “well placed to hit the ground running as Week2Week looks to boost its share of the short-term lettings market in Newcastle, where serviced apartments are increasingly seen as a convenient and cost-effective alternative to hotels”.
Claire Parry, Director at Week2Week, said: “We have been looking to boost the team with a dedicated corporate business development person for some time, and Julie has both the enthusiasm and experience required for this crucial role. Although this has been a challenging year for the serviced apartments sector, with changes to the traditional corporate travel market, our core business has held up well, which creates an excellent foundation for Julie to build on as we move forward.”
Inglis’ specific brief is to raise awareness of the Week2Week brand both regionally and nationally, while building relationships with existing clients and working to attract new ones, with a view to raising occupancy rates across the company’s portfolio.
She said: “I was on the lookout for a new challenge and also keen to remain in the serviced apartment sector, where I have in-depth experience of the competitive UK market. There is clear ambition for growth at Week2Week, which is already a well-known brand in the north-east, and I’m really excited to play my part in the company’s future success.”
