Travel Agent Trowbridge

About Me

Hello. My name is Margaret Oldroyd.

I have worked in the travel industry for nearly 40 years. My first job was with a tour operator in London. Before joining Travel Counsellors in 2005 I worked for Thomson for 14 years having previously worked for two independent family travel agencies and a motoring organisation.

I now work from home in Trowbridge Wiltshire and I love being part of Travel Counsellors, one of the largest independent homeworking travel agencies in the UK and now an international company.

We have a unique booking system enabling us to arrange holidays to suit individual needs. We book hotels, flights only, all major cruise lines and the major tour operators and arrange essentials such as airport parking or attraction tickets. All arrangements made with Travel Counsellors are covered financially by our Trust.

I can arrange all of your travel arrangements – whether you would just like to fly to New York or wish to go on a cruise only or a package holiday. I can help with any other travel arrangements, including car hire and holiday insurance.

Over a lifetime of travelling I have visited Yellowstone and Crater Lake in Oregon, New England, Florida, Canada, New Zealand, Switzerland, Austria and northern Italy. I have been to several Greek Islands, also France and Denmark and several European cities including Bruges, Barcelona, and Venice. I have cruised in the Caribbean, Alaska and the Mediterranean.

I have booked a cruise to the Panama Canal and the Caribbean for my husband, as a surprise to celebrate his special birthday next year.

I went to the Gambia in the 70s, when it first became a tourist destination. This was prompted by having been to West Africa as a small child. It was this early experience, travelling by Elder Dempster Line from Liverpool and back by a BOAC jet-propelled Britannia in the fifties that inspired me want to work in the travel industry.

I have lived in North West England, Shropshire, North Wales, Surrey, Berkshire and now Wiltshire. I love the Lake District and Scotland.

If I could travel anywhere in the world I would like go to New Zealand again, for about 2 months, as I really loved the country on a previous visit.

My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans or just to chat about places you like to see, and look forward to hearing from you.
