It's Nice To Meet You
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.

Why use a Travel Counsellor
Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
