Experienced travel retail executive Joanne Willey has joined TRBusiness as Consultant, Business Development.

Working closely with the TRBusiness commercial team, Willey will offer support ahead of Travel Retail Sustainability Week (19-23 April), the very first virtual event for travel retail dedicated solely to sustainability.

Willey, the subject of a recent interview within TRBusiness’ ‘TR Talent Pool Profile’ series, brings 25 years’ experience to her role with TRBusiness.

She possesses a strong track record in growing brands’ profiles and market share, having held international account management positions with Pernod Ricard, Diageo, Cadbury and more recently Churchill’s Confectionery, where she spent five years as Global Travel Retail Manager.

PROFESSIONAL ADVANTAGE

Nigel Hardy, Co-Owner and Joint Managing Director of TRBusiness said: “We are delighted to welcome Jo to work alongside us on this very important project that ultimately will benefit the DF&TR industry, but more importantly, our planet.

“Jo’s long and solid experience as a supplier places her in an ideal position to communicate with our partners and work with them on the Travel Retail Sustainability Week.”

Willey added: “I know Nigel, Janice and the whole TRBusiness team extremely well. I was delighted to be asked to join a company whose knowledge, insights, integrity and professionalism are second to none.

“Never has their work to keep this great industry connected been so important and vital as it is now. I am privileged to be involved in that work. Having worked for suppliers across the liquor and confectionery categories, this has enabled me to develop an extensive network of friends and colleagues around the world.

“I have seen the industry change and adapt in many different ways over the years. This experience will give me an important advantage when talking to clients. To those I already know I am looking forward to connecting with them again, and I look forward to making new connections along the way.”
