National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions bolsters UK team with sales support executive 

National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions has expanded its UK sales team with the appointment of Brooke Dunn to the new role of sales support executive.

Dunn joined the business on January 1 and is responsible for general trade support such as packaging expeditions with flights and land extensions, organising fam trips, providing trade content, managing brochure requests and helping with trade shows and events.

She has held previous roles at Fred Holidays, Star Clippers, AmaWaterways and Fred River Cruises.

"I’m delighted to be back working with Danielle again and look forward to contributing to the continued success of the UK business by providing hands on sales support to ensure our partners feel confident, informed and inspired when promoting our voyages.”
