TravelTainment have appointed industry technology specialist Ed Spiers as a non-exec Director. Spiers who recently worked for Anite and previously FSS, teams up with Andrew Nicholson (MD) and Colin Mckee (Sales Director) on the TravelTainment Management team. Nicholson says 'Ed brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the business, particularly in the technology area and we are delighted to welcome him to TravelTainment. 2009 will be a year of growth for us and we will be appointing more key staff in the coming months'.

Spiers commented 'I am delighted to be joining TravelTainment. This is a business I have been aware of for some time and I know their sub-second search and booking technology is not only unique but also in my view, best of breed. The business has enjoyed unrivalled success in Germany and now Amadeus owned, has powerful backers. It's an exciting product and I'm looking forward to working with Andrew and Colin to help further grow the business in the UK'.

TravelTainment products include an online internet booking engine (TT-IBE) and a Travel Agent Booking System (TT-TravelOffice). Both offerings will be available for viewing at the Travel Technology Show at Earls Court in February.
