Chris Mottershead to resume role as Thomas Cook's Chief of the UK Source Market

December 06, 2018

Thomas Cook has today announced that Chris Mottershead will take back the leadership of the UK business.

Chris brings detailed, experienced knowledge of the UK tour operator and is well placed to execute the Thomas Cook strategy: increasing the share of our own-brand hotels to UK customers as well as the transformation work that is currently underway.

Ingo Burmester has decided to leave Thomas Cook for personal reasons and return home to Central Europe. He will be joining DER Touristik based in Germany, in May, allowing him to be closer to his family.

Ingo joined Thomas Cook in early 2017, holding two key roles, most recently re-locating to the UK as Chief of Source Market.

In addition to the UK role, Chris will continue with his role as Chief of Product and Operations. After a handover with Ingo, Chris will lead the UK Management Team with immediate effect.

Chris will work alongside Anth Mooney who continues to report to CEO Peter Fankhauser and remains focused on improving the performance of our retail channel and financial services products as Chief of UK Retail and Money.

Thomas Cook Group CEO Peter Fankhauser said: 'I want to thank Ingo for his contribution to Thomas Cook. Given the critical importance of turning around the performance of the UK business I have decided to hand back the leadership of the UK Source Market to Chris Mottershead for the time being. I am confident that his experience in running a British holiday company, along with Anth's absolute focus on our retail and money business, will help to accelerate the UK's return to profitable growth.'
