Crystal has recruited Holly Glazer to the newly created role of business development specialist for the UK and EMEA.

Glazer added: “With my background in luxury travel, I am genuinely thrilled to be joining the Crystal team.

“It is such an exciting time to come onboard, and I am looking forward to playing my part in contributing to the ongoing growth of the business.”
