ABTA has been holding an election for the position on the Board of Directors in respect of Principal members with turnover not more than £50M.

There were two candidates: Jamie Gardiner of Diverse World Ltd and Graeme Brett of Westoe Travel.

Voting closed on Thursday 17 August.

Following the votes being counted, Jamie Gardiner was re-elected to the role.

The Board of Directors is responsible for setting ABTA’s direction, providing an extra level of governance and giving the ABTA executive team support and advice.

ABTA Chief Executive Mark Tanzer said:

“Congratulations to Jamie on his re-election to the ABTA Board. We really value the work Jamie has done on behalf of all members during his six years on the Board and look forward to continuing to benefit from his insight and expertise.

“Graeme Brett is a valued ABTA member and, while he may not be joining the ABTA Board, we’re pleased that ABTA will still be able to capitalise on Graeme’s experience through his existing position on the Council of Regions, as Chair of the North East region.”
