International tour operator HF Holidays has appointed a new Chief Executive, Joe Lynch, who brings a wealth of experience and a passion for outdoor adventure to the position.
Joe joined the walking holiday specialists on 7 January and has spent his whole career within the travel industry, with previous roles at TUI, Neilson Active Holidays and Le Boat over the last two decades. Most recently, he has lead the commercial transformation of the Youth Hostel Association, bringing digital change and new life to the heritage brand.
He said: “Growing up in the Yorkshire Dales, I have always had a love of walking and outdoor activity. There really is no better way to experience somewhere new than to set out on foot and really get to know a destination for yourself.
“This role with HF Holidays is an incredibly exciting opportunity to play a part in an organisation that has such a strong heritage, dedicated team and exciting plans for the future.”
As a co-operative with over 100 years of heritage, HF Holidays provides walking and activity holidays across the world. The award-winning firm also owns 18 country houses throughout the UK’s National Parks and areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
