AC Group has announced the appointment of Dermot O’Neill as the company’s Managing Director for their newly created Irish division. This significant milestone has been made possible by the successful procurement of a number of multimillion pound contracts secured over the last six months.
Esteemed industry veteran O’Neill brings a wealth of experience and expertise, having been part of Abbey Tours Ireland & UK for over 14 years.
As well as leading the expansion in Ireland, Dermot O’Neill will also be responsible for collaborating with key executives to drive growth in the UK and French markets, significantly enhancing AC Group’s presence in these regions.
AC Group has achieved a remarkable post-Covid recovery by placing a strong emphasis on service excellence and forging robust partnerships. In working closely with their partners, AC Group has successfully delivered tailor-made trips for both groups and individual travellers, with a particular focus on catering to the needs of high end clientele.
Owner Rob Russell says, “We are delighted that the business is now thriving after facing such challenging times during Covid. We decided to close AC Online in 2020, which accounted for almost 50% of our revenue at the time. It’s testament to the outstanding dedication shown by our team that we’re now on track to finish this year at 90% of the levels we saw in 2019 from the combined revenue of AC Tours and AC Luxe! It’s an exceptional performance from the remaining business operations and has been driven by an unwavering commitment to offer outstanding service through our tailor-made trips.”
Russell continues, “We are also really pleased to welcome Dermot O’Neill as the Managing Director of our newly-launching Irish division. His extensive experience in business development and deep understanding of the industry make him the ideal candidate for this role. We are confident that Dermot’s leadership will contribute significantly to our continued success.”
