Welcome to my webpage.
My name is Lucy and this year I will celebrate working 38 years in the travel industry.
If you are reading this, and are thinking about organising a holiday for yourself with friends or your family, do get in touch as I'd love the opportunity to help you too.
As you can imagine I have seen a lot of interesting changes since I first started my career as a trainee with Pickford’s Travel back in 1988!
Time flies ...but travel is my passion and runs through my veins... it's the industry that I love.
I pride myself on attention to detail and I thrive on offering an extremely high level of customer service. I have built my business by relying on my customers to refer me to their friends and family - and since I became a Travel Counsellor in 2007, my business has grown substantially.
Who doesn’t love to take a holiday?
I have been incredibly lucky to travel the world and my favourite destinations include Dubai, the Maldives, the Seychelles, Borneo, Thailand, the Greek islands and Melbourne, Australia. I’ve loved shopping until my feet ached in New York and I've waited patiently in Kenya to spot the baby elephants! I also have a passion for cruising and can share my ship-life experiences with you too; if you haven’t tried cruising before why not treat yourself to a taster cruise – usually two or three nights - on some of the world’s best cruise liners?
If you are celebrating something special, why not make it a truly memorable occasion by asking me to organise your plans - I'll promise to add “whistles and bells” .... whether it be a family gathering at a UK hotel, or a special birthday treat abroad to tick something off of your wish-list, I can help you. Let me share my experience, ideas, and suggestions with you and together we can plan your special event.
Travel Counsellors are an independent travel agency. I have access to over 3,000 suppliers which means I can tailor-make exactly the right holiday for you at a competitive price. We also have our own unique and state-of-the-art dynamic packaging computer system, which means that I can compare travel options for specific dates in a matter of minutes.
So, please don’t get frustrated trawling though websites looking for your own holidays, let me do the hunting for you (at no extra cost to you either).
Choose to spend your well-earned money with someone who CARES … especially during a continued complicated world where countries might have e-visas and passport rules meaning that it is all too easy to "fall down a hole" with not knowing what procedures need to be in place before you can step foot onto a foreign land!
I am here for you; to hand-hold... and suggest the best ideas for you, that the internet definitely won't! I just need your preferred holiday dates and then I can get the ball-rolling for you!
I look forward to hearing from you, best wishes and happy travelling!
Lucy
