British Airways i360: Travel trade buyers and a dolphin visit us
There was a flurry of excitement in our office this week when someone spotted a dolphin swimming around the West Pier; a great reminder of how lucky we are to work at the seafront. The photo went viral on our Facebook page receiving more than five thousand likes!
Meanwhile we have been busy promoting British Airways i360 to the world. We hosted a group of 24 travel trade buyers from China who came on a hard hat tour and met travel journalists in a day of ‘speed dating’ in London.
We have been exhibited at the Best of Britain and Ireland at the NEC in Birmingham and at Explore GB in Liverpool, which is Visit Britain’s showcase event for more than 300 international buyers. We heard the exciting news that this event will come to Brighton in 2017, which will be a great opportunity to showcase the city’s offer.
We are busy recruiting with eight management jobs currently being advertised. We welcomed our 10th and 11th team members: Emily Bamber, a travel journalist, has joined as our PR and Communications Manager; and Eva Holt as our retail buyer.
