TakeTwo Travel Solutions has announced further expansion of its North America team with the appointment of Laura Still as Business Development Director.

Laura is a twenty-year veteran of the travel industry with extensive and impressive sales and account management experience in the car rental and business travel management sectors.

She spent ten years at National Car Rental as an Account Manager, where she was responsible for developing new clients, whilst maintaining existing customers resulting in a multi-million-dollar territory. Her expertise and emphasis on collaborating with and listening to clients led to Laura achieving 98% retention of all new business and double-digit growth every year.
