"We are very excited to have Kerry on board " says Dino Zuppa, COO and one of the owners of the business along with Markus Schale & Norman Howe. " Kerry has a huge reputation in the industry, and after 12 years at Marlin travel and 16 years at Travcoa she is unquestionably one of the most qualified luxury travel consultants operating in Canada today. Kerry will focus on providing superb service and expert advice to both our travellers and our travel agent partners."

"We've been looking for some time to fill a gap in our sales team, and when we heard that Travcoa was downsizing their Toronto office we jumped at the opportunity to bring Kerry over to work with us at Horizon" says Norman Howe, Creative Director. "We are in the process of building one of the best sales teams in the industry, and Kerry's 28 years of experience in dealing with a sophisticated & affluent clientele as well as the top agents in North America moves us that much closer to our goal. "

"The most exciting thing for me," says Markus Schale, President "is that we now have the human resources to support our ambition to become a world-class travel company. With Norman's 8 years of experience as a senior executive at Butterfield & Robinson (anointed the world's 5th best travel company in 2004 by Travel & Leisure magazine), and Kerry 16 years at Travcoa (anointed the 4th best travel company by T&L), we have a depth of talent that is the envy of our peers.

Horizon & Co (formerly Horizon Holidays, founded in 1963), is one of Canada's leading small group luxury travel companies. Horizon runs guided tours and custom trips around the world, from Vietnam to the Baltic States, by land, by water and by rail.
