African agency Irvine Partners has expanded to Germany via a joint venture with German firm thepublic, adding a second European office to its existing London operation.

Irvine Partners, which was established in South Africa in 2010 and also counts wholly-owned operations in

“Germany and the UK are two of the biggest source markets for tourism into Africa,” said Rachel Irvine, CEO and founder of Irvine Partners. "Given our deep understanding of the continent, its cultures, and its people, Irvine Partners is perfectly positioned to showcase the best of African hospitality, lifestyle and tourism products to these key markets."

Leading the Irvine Partners brand in Germany will be Monika Scheel-Kassai, who has been with thepublic since 2017. The 50:50 joint venture launches with Kruger Gate Hotel, Cape Town International Convention Centre and Trevoyan Guest House as clients.

As a client, I value having one team that understands my business from the ground up."
