Looking for help with your business travel? Find out how I can help here
From our first hello to welcome home, I am with you every step of the way.
I am a seasoned business owner with Travel Counsellors, with over 30 years in the travel industry and 27 years in aviation. Based in Appleton, Warrington, I have travelled the world, managed diverse teams and built a reputation for creating bespoke travel experiences that are as individual as the people I work with.
My true specialism is crafting tailor‑made itineraries. I love designing journeys that are built entirely around you, whether that is a multi‑centre adventure, a carefully paced tour or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime celebration trip. I also have particular expertise in cruise holidays, the Far East and group travel, especially organising kids’ football tournament trips, where logistics, timing and attention to detail are everything.
I work with clients right across the UK, taking the time to understand what matters most to you: the pace you like to travel at, the experiences you enjoy and the memories you want to create. From a leisurely tour through Asia or an adventurous road journey across the States, to an exhilarating safari in the Serengeti, a sun‑soaked cruise or a seamlessly planned business trip, I build every itinerary from the ground up so it fits you perfectly.
As part of the Travel Counsellors family, an independent travel company that has been operating for over 30 years, I provide fully protected ATOL holidays that offer real peace of mind and quality assurance. Travel Counsellors have won many prestigious awards within the travel sector for service and luxury travel, giving you confidence that your plans are in expert hands.
Renowned for my friendly approach, professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction, I go the extra mile to remove the hassle from travel planning. From flights and accommodation to transfers, day trips, cruise excursions, group arrangements, business travel and even restaurant reservations, my comprehensive service ensures every aspect of your trip is taken care of.
I firmly believe in the personal touch. By getting to know you, your preferences and your priorities, I can create tailor‑made itineraries that not only meet your expectations but exceed them, whether you are travelling as a couple, a family, a group of friends, a full football squad or on business. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan your next unforgettable journey.
