AFTER 35 years at the helm of ITC, the travel company he started 35 years ago, Drew Foster has decided to step away from the day -to-day running of the business.
While Drew will remain as chairman of the company, Yorkshire-born Jennifer Atkinson, his former chief operating officer, has become the new chief executive officer of the Chester-based tour operator.
Jennifer joined ITC some years ago. “I have a very strong team around me,” she said. “In my wildest dreams I never thought I would get such a wonderful opportunity. ITC has the reputation of leading the field in the luxury tour market.”
“It is very difficult to grow business at this present time,” said Jennifer. “But we hope to maintain a steady growth.”
