Travel meta-search company Bezurk.com has appointed Martin Symes, until recently executive director, commercial, Zuji, as chief executive officer.

The company shared that Symes will also make a financial investment in the company, and become a significant shareholder. No further information was shared.

James Vaile, Bezurk’s chairman and former Expedia VP Asia Pacific, said, “Martin’s experience of running pan-Asian travel businesses will be invaluable to Bezurk as it embarks on a programme of new product launches, new markets and major distribution partnerships. His experience perfectly complements Bezurk’s dynamic young team. Bezurk.com founder Craig Hewett, who has been acting CEO, will continue to drive the company’s marketing, business development and distribution activities.”

Martin resigned from Zuji in January 2006 after almost five years of playing an instrumental role in establishing the company and brand as Asia/Pacific’s leading full service online travel retailer, including building businesses in six countries and negotiating partnerships with airlines and travel suppliers, online portals and other partners, stated a release.
