Linsey Andrews
Director of Business Development
TUI UK & Ireland, Head Office
“I joined the TUI graduate scheme in 1995 and have enjoyed very diverse roles while I’ve been here. TUI is a huge company with a wide range of different products and businesses, so they have the money and time to invest in new initiatives and also the ability to give employees a varied career path. TUI is a very relaxed and friendly place to work, and holidays are a really nice thing to think about everyday. A definite highlight of mine has been developing Thomson Holidays ‘accommodation only’, from a start-up into a multi-million pound operation in just 3 years.”
Natalie Orgles
Resource & Development Co-ordinator
TUI UK & Ireland, Coventry
“I joined TUI in 2000 as a Rep in Gran Canaria before becoming a Guest Service Manager in Cyprus and the Dominican Republic. I’m now working in the vibrant and lively Coventry Call Centre recruiting the top talent for the company. I feel lucky to have been able to further my career in the UK knowing the option of returning overseas is still open. Although I’m no longer organising hurricane evacuations or sickness quarantines I still get a great buzz from arranging successful ‘Assessment Days’.”
Tommy Lynch
Lifestyle Product Development Manager
TUI UK & Ireland, Head Office
“I joined TUI 6 months ago as I felt it was an opportunity I really couldn’t afford to miss. I like that no two days are the same, from meetings with Yoga Providers to collating deliveries for resorts. There’s really no better feeling than seeing customers enjoying themselves on holidays we’ve created. As a team we have great fun and I really enjoy coming to work. I consider my colleagues to be very close friends; we are like one big happy family and do everything together.”
Ian Chapman
Head of Overseas Operations
TUI UK & Ireland, Head Office
“I’ve been with TUI for over 18 years now and in that time I’ve gone from a Rep in Ibiza to my current role. I’m now responsible for over 4.6 million holidaymakers and a team of 3,000 overseas employees. I believe the key strength of TUI as an employer is there’s a real focus on development. And as we have so many brands there are always opportunities to switch into other areas of the business.”
Antony Childs
HR Business Partner
TUI UK & Ireland, Head Office
“I joined TUI in January 2008 and from my first interview I knew the company was right for me. As the largest holiday company in the world it means there’s a lot of opportunities for people to grow and develop. The culture is professional, fun and passionate. It’s also relaxed and informal. The one thing that stands out for me is the passionate loyalty of everyone. The offices in Luton are very modern. We have a fantastic canteen and (luckily) a gym too.”
