With nearly 40 years in the travel business I am very well known in the Cheshire area. I am very proud to share that I will be celebrating my 24th year running by own with Travel Counsellors this year.
Working as a Travel Counsellor has allowed my true passion for the travel business to reflect in the service I give to each and every one of my clients. I can offer you totally independent and unbiased advice, flexibility and very competitive prices with financial protection.
I absolutely love the travel industry and take great pride in going that extra mile for my clients to create the perfect itinerary to suit their needs. It makes me very proud that so many of my loyal customers make it their business to recommend my service to friends and family.
I am well-travelled myself believing it’s important to see the resorts and destinations I offer at first hand. I have travelled extensively to Australia, Mauritius, Seychelles, the Bahamas, South Africa, Dubai, the Caribbean, America including Hawaii and California, the Far East including Thailand.
From this first-hand knowledge I can also assist with your plans for travel to many European destinations including Italy, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Croatia, France and Switzerland.
Are you getting married? I specialise in honeymoons and weddings abroad offering an invaluable Honeymoon Gift Registry Service. This offers your wedding guests the opportunity to contribute to your honeymoon and make it a trip of a life time.
