07 SEP 2018: It is with great sadness that the Sunwing Travel Group announces the passing of Director of Product Development, Jennifer Perry. A much valued and respected member of the Sunwing family, Jennifer was instrumental in the development of the tour operator’s product portfolio across both Cuba and Mexico during her 15 years with the company. Prior to her role at Sunwing, her career spanned over 15 years in senior positions within the travel industry.
Tenacious and strong-willed, she combined a strong attention for detail with a creative eye. Her passion for the job was infectious and she had a positive impact on all who had the pleasure to work with her. A true ambassador for the company, she was also known for the strong and enduring relationships she forged with supplier and industry partners across the globe. A natural leader, she acted as a mentor for many in the department that she led who were inspired by her determination, strong work ethic and high standards.
She will be truly missed; her passing is a profound loss to not only the company but to the travel industry as a whole.
She is survived by her loving husband, Bob, and daughter Lauren.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Jennifer’s honour on Sept 15th.
