First in Service LTD (F1S) has named Andrew Jones as its new director of partnerships, leisure, effective immediately.

With more than 20 years of extensive experience in the travel industry across North America, United Kingdom, and Australia, Jones will report directly to Gina Gabbard, chief strategy officer at First in Service.

In his new position, Jones will focus on expanding the leisure business by supporting F1S advisors, growing the agency’s leisure partnerships globally, including the cruise sector, and working with Virtuoso, the agency’s consortium of choice.

“Andrew’s deep expertise in the travel industry, cultivated over years of leading teams at other recognized names in travel, makes him a valuable addition to the F1S team,” Gabbard stated. “Andrew’s exceptional travel industry background aligns perfectly with our growth strategy. His leadership and vision will help drive our efforts to support our advisors and further develop our leisure business. We’re thrilled to have him on board as we continue to grow and evolve.”

Jones has a proven track record of exceeding sales targets and delivering outstanding results. Most recently, he served as director of travel partner relations at Ensemble, where he successfully developed and executed strategic partnerships and led the company’s various leisure travel programs.

Prior to Ensemble, he spent 20 years at Flight Centre Travel Group in both North America and Australia; during his last seven years there, he served as director, supplier relationships (cruise and tour) for the North American market.

In addition to his professional accomplishments, Jones is a travel enthusiast who has explored more than 80 countries.
