Online hotel booking site HRS.com has appointed former marketer Jon West as commercial director for HRS.com UK and Ireland.
West moves to HRS.com from internet strategy firm, IS Solutions, where he was marketing director for 13 years. While at IS Solutions, West was heavily involved in some of the first travel website launches. In 1996 he helped advise Thomas Cook on its original internet strategy. He has since been involved in more than 200 online business setups.
HRS.com managing director Tobias Ragge says West was appointed primarily because of his experience in fast paced business-to-business and business-to-consumer markets: “West brings a fantastic wealth of online marketing knowledge to our UK and Ireland division and his experience will be invaluable as we boost HRS.com’s market share.”
"I'm thrilled to be taking on this role,” says West. “I relish the opportunity of helping HRS.com to fulfil its goal to be the number one player in the UK and Ireland.”
