Chris Oakes leads global sales and operations at TTS, ensuring clients benefit from both commercial growth and operational excellence. With over 40 years in travel, his journey began at 21 when he left Scotland for Corfu as an overseas rep. From managing crises on the ground to leading global teams, that hands-on experience shapes his practical, people-first approach today.
Chris works closely with clients to deliver tailored support solutions across customer service, sales support, and out-of-hours operations, building long-term partnerships based on trust and results.
Outside of work, Chris enjoys spending time with family, travelling whenever he can, and staying closely connected to the travel industry community, often accompanied by Barney, the family’s much-loved Shih-Poo.
