I liken planning a holiday to baking a cake. It takes several well measured and thought out ingredients for a great result.

I have been lucky to have travelled extensively myself and being a travel consultant for more than 20 years, I use these 'ingredients' - experience and expertise - to draw on to help create amazing holidays and lifelong memories.

It is such a pleasure to help my clients get the best out of their holidays and manage an incredible team of travel professionals.

I've spent the majority of my working career in some form of the travel industry and have returned to my happy place of working face-to-face with clients. It brings the most joy when I see the excitement on their face and I have the responsibility to live up to and exceed their expectations. But travel is now ever- changing, volatile and can throw up surprises at a moments notice. Having your travel consultant in your back pocket from start to finish, can give you reassurance you will not be left on your own, even if you do get stranded!
