Blanco takes over from Nick Harwood, who has been promoted to sales director – key partners, for Europcar Group, and said he would use his travel sector experience to enhance the firm’s mobility solutions.

He served most recently as VP commercial and CCO of Pullmantur Cruises (Royal Caribbean Group) and has previously spent five years as sales & marketing director for Europcar in Spain.

“The UK marketplace is experiencing a number of challenges which, I believe make it an exciting place to work at this time,” said Blanco. “I firmly believe that there are many opportunities for Europcar to provide cost-effective and convenient mobility solutions for both business and leisure travellers in the UK. I am, therefore, tremendously excited to be joining the Europcar UK team at this time.”
