About Me
Hi,
I am Mike Bridges – an Independent Travel Agent based in Waterfoot, Rossendale in Lancashire.
I have worked in the travel business for the last 20 years, dealing with business to business clients - arranging comprehensive itineraries for delegates attending conferences and conducting business meetings at home and abroad.
In addition to the business travel market I have worked extensively with the consumer market – arranging bespoke ‘packages’ for leisure travellers. These have included family holidays, educational visits, trips to mark occasions, and special interest holidays, the cruise market, winter sports – skiing and activity holidays, as well as the conventional package tours.
I have personally travelled extensively over the years both as a consumer on family holidays and also as a delegate on educational/travel agency visits. Some of the places I have visited include:
Australia, the USA, most countries in Europe, the UK and Ireland, as well as the Far East and the Caribbean.
I have particular expertise in the Australian travel market, having just been awarded the status of Premier Aussie Specialist by ‘Tourism Australia.’
In Jamaica I experienced rafting on the Martha Brae River and climbing the Dunn’s River Falls.
Closer to home – I have travelled to most regions in Ireland.
