29 September 2026 – New appointment and promotion add supplier and commercial depth as Australia’s leading independent travel buying network closes out a record $2.5 billion FY26.
CT Partners has grown its Australian team to four full-time staff, adding fresh supplier expertise and promoting from within, as the independent travel buying network backs up a record FY26 with more support on the ground for its members and supplier partners.
Natalie Brean has joined CT Partners as Operations Co-ordinator, working from the network’s Sydney office in a newly created role spanning both the supplier and member sides of the business. Natalie brings 19 years at British Airways and, more recently, four years with Air Canada, and will be the first point of contact for CT Partners’ supplier partners on private fare loading, product updates, webinar co-ordination and Supplier Days.
CT Partners has also promoted Liz Rooney to Commercial Performance Manager after four years with the business, recognition for her contribution to date and a bigger remit to match the growing demands of the network, focused on creating greater value and stronger commercial outcomes for both members and supplier partners.
The appointments land as CT Partners closes out its strongest year yet, with $2.5 billion in total transaction value flowing through its members in FY26, cementing its place as Australia’s leading independent travel buying network at a time when its momentum shows no sign of slowing.
Comments attributable to Matt Masson, CEO, CT Partners:
“CT Partners is in the best form of its history, and we’re building the team to keep accelerating our members’ success. Natalie brings two decades of airline and supplier relationships straight into a role our members will feel the benefit of immediately, and Liz has spent four years proving she deserved a bigger remit.”
“We’re a not-for-profit, which means growth only ever means one thing for us: our members growing too. A stronger team is an important part of how we keep that promise to our network.”
