Ski Miquel is a well-established ski holiday company with over 45 years in the travel industry. The brand is built upon inclusive package holidays to company-owned chalet-hotels that include flights, food, and ski hosting. This generates strong customer loyalty, with a re-book rate of over 80%.
Ski Miquel requires a new Customer Service & People Officer, which presents an exciting opportunity to work as part of a tight-knit team with clear objectives to grow the business.
