Celestyal has announced a strategic update to its management team, with the appointment of Janet Parton as vice president of marketing, public relations and customer experience.
Janet assumes the role with immediate effect from her previous position as Vice President of Business Development and Managing Director of Celestyal Travel. She brings extensive experience from both her two years at Celestyal and previous roles as Sales and Marketing Director at Globus Family of Brands. She will lead Celestyal's new marketing, public relations, and customer experience area, supporting the brand's next phase of growth as plans accelerate towards 2026 and the launch of its new Wave campaign.
Janet will continue to report to Lee Haslett, commercial director.
As part of this transition, Dan Buckingham, UK director of retail and partnerships, will take over the leadership of the UK, Celestyal Travel and Europe teams on an interim basis.
Lee Haslett stated, “Janet is a respected and established leader who has played a pivotal role in strengthening Celestyal’s business partnerships and our presence in key markets. As we ramp up our marketing, brand building, and demand generation efforts in anticipation of our Wave campaign and 2026 strategy, Janet’s commercial experience and deep understanding of the Celestyal brand make her the ideal person to lead this area. I am excited to see her take on this role and drive the next chapter of our growth.”
Janet Parton commented: “It has been an honor to be part of Celestyal’s journey for the past two years, and I am excited to take on this role at such a pivotal time for the brand. We have an unprecedented opportunity to further strengthen our connection with both consumers and the travel industry through a more robust and unified approach to marketing, public relations, and customer experience.”
