CARROLL AXED BY TRAVELZEST

Travelzest PLC and Jonathan Carroll have parted ways, with the company announcing that Carroll – who became a very public travel industry figure in Canada while at the helm of iTravel2000 – has seen his contract terminated and “will cease to act as chief executive officer and employee of the company and all its subsidiaries with immediate effect.”This includes itravel2000 and The Cruise Professionals. There was no immediate word from Carroll on Travelzest’s move. Adrian Cobbold, who has been serving as group finance director, now takes on responsibility for the daily operations of the business. He’ll be backed by non-executive chairman Christopher Howell. Travelzest says it is still being guided by the board’s strategy in place prior to Carroll’s departure.
