The appointment marks a significant milestone in the company’s evolution as a leading provider of bespoke travel experiences to Antarctica, the Arctic, Africa and South and Central America.
Hilary brings a wealth of experience and passion to the role, having been a pivotal part of Eclipse Travel’s journey since 2018.
Known for her expertise in African safari travel and her leadership within the sales team, Hilary has long been recognised as one of the company’s top-performing employees.
After a brief sabbatical during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hilary expanded her professional scope at Tyrrell’s Wines, where she managed their tourism experiences, membership events and brand engagement – adding invaluable depth to her knowledge of customer experience and brand strategy.
“I’m excited to be stepping into this role at such a pivotal time for Eclipse,” said Hilary.
“With over 15 years’ experience in the travel industry and having contributed to Eclipse’s growth into one of Australia’s leading tailor-made travel specialists, it’s a real privilege to now lead the business.
“I look forward to building on our momentum and continuing to create unforgettable trips for our clients.”
Her appointment as General Manager is a natural progression, following her recent success as Sales & Marketing Director, where she led the company’s rebrand and website transformation, and played a key role in shaping Eclipse Travel’s forward-looking strategy.
“She brings genuine passion, deep destination knowledge and strong leadership – everything we need as we look to the future,” said Matt McMillan, Co-Founder of Eclipse Travel.
