It's Nice To Meet You
My name is Sarah, and I'm a travel agent in Brough, East Yorkshire. (Recently married, so you may know me as Sarah Smith - I go by both!)
I've worked in the travel industry and customer services for over 35 years. I'm one of those lucky people who work in an industry that is essentially my hobby: travel! I love travel and all things related; be it the foreign culture, traditions, architecture, smells and sounds and, of course, the cuisine.
I have travelled extensively so have first-hand knowledge of many worldwide and luxury destinations including the Middle East, Caribbean, Australia, Canada, USA, South Africa, Maldives, Mauritius, Kenya and Morocco, Egypt and many European destinations including multiple Greek islands, Iceland, Italy, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Lapland, Italy and Türkiye. I love adventure travel as well as soaking up the sun, so you may find me up a mountain, kayaking on a river, sailing in the Caribbean, or wild-swimming. I also have immediate access to a huge circle of colleagues all over the world, so if I can't answer your question, I'm confident someone in the Travel Counsellor community will be able to.
I have won many awards and accreditations. Here's a few of my career highlights:
TUI New Shop of the Year award 1993
TUI Shop of the Year award 2001
TUI Shop Manager of the Year 2004
Institute of Customer Services (ICS) Solutions Award 2011
Travel Counsellors Nominee Best Newcomer (Leisure) 2013
Awarded Gold Travel Counsellor status Oct 2014 - recognised as one of the top 10% in the company!
Why choose me?
1. I believe in building strong and trusted relationships with my customers so that when you think 'holidays', you think 'Sarah'.
2. I believe in fully understanding my customers’ needs before I set to work, so that I can offer you the best holiday to match those needs. Let's chat rather than e-mail!
3 I believe in good old-fashioned customer care. You simply can’t get this if you book online. I would never recommend a holiday that I would not feel happy booking for me and my family.
4. I am available to you when you want me, often when most high-street travel agents are closed.
5. There are so many recent changes to travel these days, I have access to the latest FCDO rules and regulations, country by country, whether you need to complete an e-form before you depart, need a visa, etc... so you don't have to worry about a thing!
6. As my business has grown and grown, I now have a small team of experienced (and fabulous) TCs working alongside me who support me in 'behind the scenes' admin duties, and some enquiries.
So, when you are thinking about planning your next trip, be it a luxury honeymoon, a city break, safari, ski trip, a cruise, or a round the world trip of a lifetime, just give me the opportunity to quote.
Remember: With me, it's a relationship not just a transaction.
