Business Travel & Bespoke Holidays with a Personal Touch.
With over 35 years in the travel industry, including 23 years as a Travel Counsellor and business owner, I offer a level of expertise and personalised service that’s second to none. My deep knowledge of the Business Travel sector—developed through working with industry leaders such as HRG/AMEX, Carlson Wagonlit, Lufthansa Consol, and others—means I understand the complexities and nuances of corporate travel inside and out.
Whether you’re a small business travelling a few times a year or a blue-chip company with a £5m+ annual spend, I tailor solutions to meet your unique requirements. As part of Travel Counsellors, we support a wide range of businesses across various sectors, ensuring efficient, cost-effective travel management that gives your team more time to focus on what they do best.
Why Choose Us for Business Travel?
Expert Travel Management: We source the best available fares, routes, and options based on your budget, schedule, and preferences.
Flexible Credit Facilities: Simplify the financing of your travel, with options designed to support your business cash flow.
Bespoke Service: Whether your priorities are speed, savings, comfort, or compliance—we tailor our approach to your needs.
24/7 Global Support: Our dedicated Duty Office and emergency team operate 24/7, with real-time reporting and traveller tracking, giving you peace of mind and fulfilling your duty of care obligations.
During the challenges of Covid-19, we went above and beyond—securing exemptions for travel when borders were closed, repatriating stranded travellers when official flights were unavailable, and assisting those left unsupported by other providers. In many cases, we helped travellers who weren’t even our clients—just people who needed help when they couldn’t get through elsewhere.
Award-Winning Service
Our efforts have been widely recognised:
Best Business Travel Company – TTG Awards
5-Star Trustpilot Rating
Rated #1 by Martin Lewis (MoneySavingExpert) for our commitment to looking after customers during Covid
Even Simon Calder praised human travel agents for their resilience and service compared to online booking platforms.
We’re also proud to be the only UK travel company awarded the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise, and everything booked through us is financially protected by our unique Travel Counsellors Financial Trust—providing you and your travellers with total peace of mind.
Tailor-Made Leisure Travel
Alongside business travel, I also design bespoke, tailor-made holidays for individuals, families, and groups—whether it’s a dream honeymoon, luxury getaway, or off-the-beaten-path adventure. You’ll receive the same level of care and attention as our business clients, with experiences crafted entirely around you.
If you or any of your colleagues would like a no-obligation quote or would like to compare pricing or service, I’d be delighted to help.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

I was lucky enough to take part in a ‘Familiarisation’ trip to Boston and it couldn’t have started better with the opportunity to sample the Virgin Club Wing and Clubhouse where we enjoyed the amazing ‘Red Head’ cocktail too. It was first class all the way, from the minute we went into the incredible lounge. Exceptionally trendy with so many staff, we were greeted with cocktails after our V.I.
