TORONTO — Unique Vacations Canada has appointed Jordon McGrowder as its new Business Development Manager for Alberta, Manitoba and Northwest Territories, effective immediately.

Based in Calgary, McGrowder takes over the reins from Donné Nixon, who previously served in the role for five years before relocating to Toronto to assume a new position as Human Resources Manager, based in the Unique Vacations Canada corporate office.

A proud Jamaican and a graduate of the University of West Indies, McGrowder migrated to Canada where he completed his post-graduate education at Seneca College in Toronto. He brings extensive experience in customer service, marketing and promotions in a number of sectors, including travel and tourism, to his new role.

“Jordon’s energy, enthusiasm and passion for the travel industry make him the perfect fit as the newest member of the Unique Vacations Canada sales team. I’m excited to watch him excel in this new role,” said Maureen Barnes-Smith, Vice President, Sales & Marketing Canada for Unique Vacations Canada. 

“Western Canada has long been an important market for Sandals and Beaches Resorts; we’ve had consistent in-market sales representation long before any other Caribbean resort company did. And now with Jordon working alongside the veteran presence of Winston Chang in Vancouver, we’re once again fully equipped to support our partners out west,” she added.

McGrowder can be reached at (587) 336-1841 and at jordon.mcgrowder@uvisandals.ca.
