Exsus Travel has further expanded its team of travel experts with the appointment of Sarah Stearn.

The operator has recruited a raft of new staff since last year. Most recently it took on North America travel experts Bradley Roper, Laura Robertson and Spencer Thomas. In December it hired Uma Campbell for the newly-created role of head of product and commercial.

Stearn previously worked for Trailfinders for 10 years in various departments, including sales, management, training and development, and has visited more than 50 countries.

Neil Sealy, head of trade sales, welcomed Stearn to the team. He said: “Sarah brings even more first-hand knowledge and experience to our team of experts, and her in-depth expertise on cruising is invaluable at a time when we are experiencing unprecedented demand for both river and ocean cruises.

“Sarah also has incredible worldwide knowledge covering many of our most popular destinations, and we are all excited to welcome her to Exsus.”
