“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Anna to our team,” said Anthony Goldman, Joint Managing Director of Goldman Group. “Having collaborated with Anna extensively during her tenure at Virtuoso, I can confidently say she is the ideal person to help guide our leisure businesses into a promising future.
“Her profound expertise in agency strategy will be invaluable as she partners with our advisors on their portfolio management and supplier relationships.”
“I am excited to embark on this new chapter with Goldman Group and join this talented team,” Davies said. “With a passion for travel and a strong background within the industry, I look forward to the collaboration and leveraging my experience to build on Goldman Groups’ incredible legacy, whilst supporting its growth and reputation as agency leaders in luxury travel.”
In a complementary move, Elizabeth Clarke will step into the role of Director of Cruise. Based in Brisbane at The Cruise Centre by Travelcall, Clarke will spearhead efforts to amplify cruise sales across all Goldman businesses. Since joining Goldman Group following the acquisition of The Cruise Centre in 2017, she has been a cornerstone in driving and maintaining robust cruise sales.
“Announced as a Virtuoso Cruise Icon, Elizabeth stands out as one of Australia’s premier cruise experts,” Goldman noted.
“Her unparalleled knowledge and experience will be crucial in optimising our advisors’ cruise sales enabling future growth as we attract new cruise clients across our portfolio.”
Goldman Group is poised to enhance its service offerings and attract new clients through strategic utilisation of Virtuoso and Link Travel Group’s extensive programs and tools. “We see immense potential to maximise our resources and continue delivering exceptional value to both our existing and future clients,” added Goldman.
