    01923 640318 Hertfordshire

    My name is Gemma and I am based just outside of Watford in Hertfordshire. After almost 20 years experience in the travel industry, 18 of which were spent managing a busy high street travel agency, I am now very pleased to be a self employed travel expert with the freedom and flexibility to provide exceptional customer service.My passion for travel has enabled me to visit some truly incredible places. From cruising through the Panama Canal, to seeing the spectacular Northern Lights in Iceland. Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge to meeting Mickey Mouse in Disneyworld. Being amongst the wild animals on safari in Kenya to having afternoon tea at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, I really am fortunate to say these are just a very small sample of my travels.I love to share my knowledge and first hand experiences to enrich your travel plans and give you a holiday experience that creates lasting memories. I like to really get to know you and what you want to get out of your holiday experience. I will ask plenty of questions to build something for you and I won't give up until its perfect - I love a challenge. As I am home based, I am available at a time to suit you including weekends and evenings. I am contactable over the telephone, via email and face to face too, so happy to communicate the way you prefer. Over the 18 years managing a travel agency, I have obtained extensive knowledge on long-haul destinations and also on destinations closer to home. I have tailor-made itineraries but also made many arrangements for family holidays who are working towards a particular budget. I worked at cruise events and have cruised personally myself since the age of 11 which gives me the ability to make valid recommendations for you. I also ran successful events at the National Wedding shows in London, arranging destination weddings for larger and intimate groups of friends and family and their once in a lifetime honeymoon trips.I understand its important for you to feel that you are in safe hands and have confidence when making your travel plans. You can rest assured knowing you have choice, flexibility and financial protection when booking with a Travel Counsellor. So whether its an action packed adventure or a cultured city break, a family holiday by the beach or a cruise around the Caribbean, no enquiry is too big or too small and everyone receives the same high level of service and attention to detail. The only limit to my service is packing your suitcase, otherwise I am there every step of the way. I look forward to hearing from you.

    With over 21 years experience of working front line sales for a leading travel company, I've decided to take my career to the next level. Working with global award winning Travel Counsellors has given me the opportunity to have my own franchise, setting my own high standards of both service and product, using my vast experience to deliver a high standard of industry expertise.For you, this will begin at enquiry stage, leading you through some of the options available, you can then settle on which of the tailor-made travel itineraries best suit you. I'll provide personal recommendations where required, all to deliver a service that exceeds your expectations, and travel experience that will leave you with un-forgettable memories.During my 19 years I've acquired some stand out travel experiences, most recently, taking in the stunning natural beauty of the Maldives with my wife, where I was able to fulfil a life long ambition of swimming with manta-ray. Spotting the Big five at South Africa's Shamwari Game reserve along with skydiving over Table Mountain in Cape town, marvelling at the patient craftmanship of the Taj Mahal followed by exploring the backwater's of Southern India to name a few highlights of my travels. Not wanting to keep the world to myself, I've also taken my wife and four children, aged between 8 and 18 to Barbados, Dubai, Thailand and across much of Europe, so I can certainly pre-empt the considerations you'd need to make when travelling with a family. A particularly memorable occasion has to be my shopping and show trip to New York with my two teenage girls, never a dull moment! To list all the places, and diverse cultural experiences I've had will take up half this page, but from the shows and nightlife of Vegas and New York to the Thai markets and Indian temples, I can bring much experience to your tentative enquiry. Over the last 5 years, I've also focused on corporate travel. The challenge of catering for the fast paced high demand is where I come into my own. Finding route and ticket solutions that you'd maybe not see possible with your own planning, I take the strain out of booking business travel, a little more of this is highlighted on my Business travel page via the link.

  • Elaine Simpson

    01422 897490 Hebden Bridge

    My name is Elaine Simpson: I live in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire with my husband, Rod Bailey, who is a retired fine art lecturer. My passion is Australia - I’ve been a Tourism Australia Aussie Specialist for many years, visiting over 20 times; plus I’m a New Zealand Kiwi specialist and an expert in Round the World journeys. Closer to home I love to sail on Star Clippers traditional sailing ships and have crossed the Med with them several times. My 40+ years travel experience started in university travel offices which gave me an unrivalled knowledge of airline and rail routes and off-the-beaten-track destinations, as many of the students and lecturers came from, or travelled to, some far-out places! In 1989 I started my own travel agency for independent travellers and was presented to HRH the Prince of Wales having won a competition for start-up businesses in the Calderdale area. Late in June 2008 I joined Travel Counsellors and closed that business down and – one of the best decisions I have made in my career. I’ve travelled widely throughout Australasia, North America, Asia, Europe, Mexico and South Africa; have specialist accreditations also for Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai etc, so I can offer a comparable service to all regions with the extensive and highly professional support of Travel Counsellors. Despite travelling extensively, my own wish-list never gets any shorter: in the past few years I have spent most winters in Tenerife and have visited India, Morocco, Australia, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Barbados, Mexico, Thailand, New Orleans: and I’ll go anywhere else given half a chance! When I’m not booking travel, or travelling, I love to draw and paint and many of my pictures are inspired by the people and places I have met and seen along the way. When travelling I like to get off the beaten track and try out new experiences with a combination of action and relaxation and that is the kind of trip I excel in arranging. Therefore, whatever your idea of a good time, talk to me about it and together we’ll find the perfect trip for you! There’s a place in everyone’s life for a little self-indulgence and hedonism - we all need times to chill out - whether you find it in 5-star luxury or in a simple beach hut, I’ll go that extra mile to find the perfect place for you to relax and recharge your batteries. Whatever your travel needs I’d be delighted to help and can either meet you or arrange it via email or phone- so distance is no object in more ways than one! I look forward to hearing from you.

    Hi, I’m Zoe, your Independent Travel Agent and Cruise Ambassador for Travel Counsellors. With over 40 years’ experience in both leisure and business travel, I bring first-hand knowledge and a truly personal service. Whether it’s a family holiday, a cruise, a business trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I’ll tailor everything to you—without the stress of endless online searching.As a Cruise Ambassador, I’ve sailed with many different lines and on many different ships, so I can match you to the right cruise experience. I’ve also explored destinations including Santorini (a personal favourite), California on fly-drives, and Sydney, where my family live—meaning my recommendations come from real experience.My clients return year after year, and I’m available when they need me, not just 9 to 5. In the ever changing world of the internet, and the speed that companies are born, bred and disappear, people are at last waking up to the fact that booking your travel arrangements through faceless internet sites is not all it’s cracked up to be. The thing that really worries the real travel experts is the lack of assistance and financial protection that these sites offer. Travel Counsellors has the best financial protection in the industry! I have 86% repeat business which is the best recommendation I could ever have.I have recently returned from Santorini, where I have holidayed for the past 14 years, and we will of course return next year! I took my first cruise in 2006 and have been bitten by the bug and I would thoroughly recommend cruising too! I love to visit new countries and for me this year has been Poland, Vietnam, Bali and Qatar. Feel free to get in touch to see how I can take the stress away from planning your next trip!Best wishes, Zoe

    Hi there and thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage.My name is Julie and like many of my fellow TC's, travel is my primary interest and passion in life and has been for as long as I can remember. If I had to choose my favourite country then it has to be Spain. I just adore Spain, which I think started from my childhood from the fabulous family holidays we had but then I went on to study Spanish at School, College and then University where I spent each summer working a full season in the gorgeous sunshine. My Uni Placement was in a Spanish Travel Agency and then my first job after Uni was with Iberia Airlines where I spent 3.5 fabulous year and my career had only just begun. Fortunately for me, my parents have an apartment on the South Coast, so I get to spend a lot of time in Andalucia. Aside from Spain, I am a big skier and have had the pleasure of skiing in the Alps, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Milky Way. I haven’t just restricted myself to Europe, I have been to various US States, UAE, Mauritius, Seychelles, Malaysia, Vietnam, South Africa & the Caribbean.I love a good City Break, a beach holiday, a touring holiday, winter break, a cruise – you name it, I love it. Pinch me trips for meare always my ski trips but I loved Lapland and still get goosebumps from the South African Safari. I have a team I work with here at Travel Counsellors who all specialise in different countries and products, so no matter what your dream is for your next trip, please do speak to me, so I can make sure they come true. You will also have peace of mind knowing that you have the security of booking via a reputable company like Travel Counsellors who are there for you pre trip, during and post trip and more importantly around the clock when anything unpredicatble happens.

    My name is Charley and I’m based in Wells, Somerset where I live with my partner, children and two giant ginger cats.With over 13 years of travel industry experience, I’ve worked for both a high-end bespoke touring company and a luxury high street travel agent. What sets me apart from both companies, and certainly from online booking agents, is that I’m here to offer my clients unrivalled support throughout their entire holiday experience, from the first time we speak to after they’ve returned from their travels. I’ll be available to advise and answer any pre-travel questions, assist with all the extras that make a vacation truly special, such as room requests, dining reservations and experiences, and I’ll be there to help in worst-case scenarios, if anything goes wrong. Essentially think of me as your own personal travel concierge!My favourite place on earth is New Zealand, where I was lucky enough to live for nearly three years. In my opinion there is nowhere more visually beautiful, with its mountains, glaciers and lakes, white sand beaches and wineries, and honestly the friendliest locals you could meet. My other favourite travel memories are being within a couple of metres of three rhinos in Kruger National Park, seeing bears in Sequoia National Park (California) and travelling solo through the Tibetan mountains of southwest China – which hosts some of the most stunning scenery I’ve seen.I could talk about travel and my experiences for days, but my other passion is creating bespoke and personal itineraries to share with my clients so they can explore the places they’ve always dreamt of visiting. From luxury rail travel across Canada, to complex multi-stop cities in the USA, to your first safari in Africa or beach hopping in Thailand and Malaysia, I love the challenge of piecing it all together.As well as tailormade touring, I also work with a huge range of suppliers and resorts and can arrange everything from skiing to Caribbean beach holidays, from a weekend away in Europe to a cruise around the arctic or the Mediterranean.

    I am proud to have owned my Travel Counsellor franchise for 17 years now.Having studied Travel & Toursim at College I have had a varied and extensive career within the industry I love. From P&O, Princess Cruises, Austravel, Australian Affair, Ebookers, Lasminute.com and Quest Travel I have predominately worked in senior management. I have loved the opportunites my roles have given me by allowing me to visit and explore some of the most beautiful destinations, both long and short haul. As the names imply a number of these companies specialised in Tour Operating to Australasia where I was fortunate enough to visit many times each year including hosting numerous journalists taking them to far flung areas of these beautiful destinations. Austravel saw me living in Manhattan whilst running the North American division of Austravel covering 15 locations including one in Canada.Everything I arrange is bespoke. It does not matter if it's a detailed longhaul holiday or a short city break, it is always put together based on my individual customers needs and requirements, nothing is 'off the shelf' as our requirements are as unique as we are as people.Given my industry experience I prefer not work with mainstream Tour Operators. By working directly with our contracted airlines, hotels, specialist suppliers and local operators I know you will be well looked after at every stage of your holiday. Ensuring you have the best experiences throughout is a priority to me. Indeed the covid years have further reinforced my working practises as I have had to cancel and change so many holidays. This has been done with ease as I have been the one in control alongside the relevant service provider making it simple to obtain refunds or to amend. I am also backed up by an amazing 24/7 team .Not exhaustive but I can arrange: City Breaks, River Cruises, Ocean & Adventure Cruises Longhaul, Shorthaul holidays and detailed multi centre or round the world itineraries. Family, couples or singles holidays. Ski, Lapland Weddings, Honeymoons Private planes, helicopters and yachts. ...... Nothing is ImpossiblePlease feel free to call me so that we can chat about your travel requirements and aspirations. For more convenience you can arrange to meet with me, at a mutually agreeable time, at the Hobo Private Members Club Loughton.I look forward to hearing from you and becoming your Personal Travel Counsellor.VickyIF YOU CAN DREAM IT I CAN CREATE IT.

    Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read thisBeing a Travel Counsellor has been my dream job for many years and I’ve had the privilege to be able to work in the Travel Industry for over 35 years. I remain passionate about what I do and take immense pride in serving my clients to the very best of my ability in order to meet their specific needs and wishes. Overall, I am committed to going the extra mile in order to create the perfect trip to suit their requirements. Getting to know my clients is really important to me, either by phone, Zoom or in person. This enables me to gain a deeper understanding of what is needed to put the perfect holiday together. I work very differently to the High Street and the online companies and am able to work with you at a mutually convenient time but largely at a time which suits you. I also specialise in tailor made itineraries and bespoke holidays. However, I must stress that no enquiry is too small. Being a Travel Counsellor means that I work individually so you only get myself at the end of the phone or email. In support of my personal and focused service, we have a fantastic customer service backing from Travel Counsellors Head Office. This provides the Travel Counsellors 100% financial guarantee in that all holidays are financially secured. It’s a real privilege to work with an award-winning company and for one of the largest travel providers in the UK with 5 star Trust Pilot reviews and having been established over 30 years. Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to work independently with many tour operators, and as we have a trusted and long-standing relationship with many ground handlers all over the world, I can put together those unforgettable holiday moments for you. A key part of my job is to enhance and suggest amazing and awesome moments that will stay in your memories for years to come. A few examples which I’ve worked on include arranging for clients to sit amongst 100,000 king penguins in South Georgia, to ‘live local’ on Lake Titicaca in Peru, to island hop in Indonesia or to go rafting on the Zambezi River in Zambia. I can arrange all of these experiences and so much more. In addition to holiday experiences, I have also worked closely with groups and business travelers over many years. This is an important part of my service and I often work with bespoke needs for travel across a number of continents for both short and lengthy duration trips. I have worked through many of the challenging times which have impacted countries and the travel industry. This includes the impact of 9/11, the Ash Cloud, Tsunamis and of most recently COVID-19 and related Government travel policy decisions. None of us could have imagined the level of disruption on travel which we’ve encountered. I have been able to provide advice on changes to travel, respond to client needs and navigate through the range of often complicated policy restrictions. but being available for my clients allowed me to advise and rearrange around the restrictions in place, giving them the reassurance that they are not alone.I look forward to arranging trips for this year and beyond. It is a pleasure and a privilege to do the job I do. Travel has been a huge part of my life and I would be delighted to hear from you, whatever your travel enquiry. Finally, I am reminded of the words of Saint Augustine: "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page".I look forward to hearing from you soonThank you

I’ll take the time to thoughtfully create a trip that’s tailored to you and your family or friends, leaving you free to concentrate on making memories!Some of my own best holiday memories are the joy of wall to wall sunshine in Portugal, hearing the roar of lions on safari in South Africa, tasting the best pad Thai in Thailand, seeing my 3 children outside all day on the slopes in Norway and feeling like I’m on a movie set in Las Vegas!I’ve appreciated the value of travel since my very first job as a receptionist at the YHA on Oxford Street in London, where I loved meeting people who were travelling for every possible reason!

    Samantha Lee

    01524576015 Heysham

    I've always been the "go-to travel person" in my circle - the one people message at 10pm asking "What's the weather like here?" or "Can you check my itinerary?" After working in travel before and planning more holidays than I can count, turning that passion into something I get to do every day just made sense. Travel has always been a huge part of my life. I genuinely believe it's one of the best things you can do for your mental health - whether that's switching off on a beach. exploring somewhere new, or finding a place that makes you feel a bit more like yourself again. That feeling is exactly why I love what I do. Seeing someone return home relaxed, refreshed and full of memories, knowing I played a small part in it, is something I'll never get tired of. I'm a solo traveller at heart and have explored Europe, Thailand and Canada. My next bucket list trip is Antarctica next year, which I'm super excited about. Greece, though, is the place that has my whole heart - and where I hope to live one day with my Golden Retriever, Digby. Speaking of Digby...he's officially my Head of Marketing and Chief Happiness Officer. He specialises in morale boosting, attention-seeking, and reminding me when it's time for a holiday. He also keeps me well-trained in finding the best dog-friendly spots - we're planning a trip to France after Christmas so if you're wanting to travel with your pet, you're in very capable hands. My approach is simple: no pressure, just honest advice and thoughtful, tailored travel planning. I take the time to understand what matters to you and make sure every detail feels 100% perfect. Wherever you're dreaming of next, I'm here to help you get there - stress-free, excited, and ready to make those unforgettable memories.

    Hi, I’m Fergus! I’ve worked in travel for over nine years, turning my lifelong love of exploring the world into a career that lets me help others plan truly unforgettable trips. Originally from Northern Ireland – which will always have my heart – I now help clients across the UK and beyond create holidays and travel experiences that fit them perfectly. I specialise in tailor-made holidays and diving adventures, with a particular passion for South East Asia – especially the Philippines, where I’ve explored some of the most stunning dive sites on the planet. I’ve also travelled extensively through Thailand, Mexico, Egypt, North America, and the Caribbean, so I’m always happy to share first-hand tips and recommendations. Alongside leisure travel, I also look after corporate clients, ensuring their business travel is smooth, efficient, and stress-free. From coordinating complex itineraries to managing last-minute changes, I pride myself on providing clear communication and fast, reliable solutions. My corporate clients often tell me they value my thoroughness, approachability, and the confidence that everything is handled professionally. As a few of my clients have kindly said, “Fergus always finds time to listen and respond efficiently,” “he makes the whole process smooth and clearly communicated,” and “he’s very knowledgeable and always able to provide a solution.” Those words mean the world to me because they capture exactly what I aim for with every booking – friendly, professional service with a personal touch. Whether you’re planning a luxury beach break, an adventurous dive trip, or managing business travel for your team, I’d love to help make your journey effortless from start to finish.

    Travel has been my life for the past 20 years and hopefully it will be the same for the next 20! I could eat, sleep and breathe the word and I’ve been fortunate enough to travel quite extensively over the USA and Europe. In fact, I could categorically say Florida is my second home, having been there at least once a year, for the past 20 years! I have worked very closely over the years with Disney, Universal and SeaWorld and would be absolutely delighted to create you a bespoke itinerary for your Florida adventure as I know only too well what a daunting experience this can be for first-time visitors. I am also no stranger to New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Dallas, Chicago and even St Louis (and yes, I did lie beneath the arch)!But of course, it’s not all about the USA, Europe is another big favourite of mine – particularly Spain, France (where I was lucky enough to study) and the Greek Islands. I also visited for the first time this year Mexico and it was certainly love at first sight. Those beaches just blow your mind! In fact, if you are looking for something special in Mexico I will let you into a little secret - please just ask and I will be delighted to share!So hopefully you can sense I am passionate about travel and nothing would give me more pleasure than to create the perfect, bespoke holiday package just for you. Wherever and whatever that may be, I will make sure you get the best possible options to suit your budget. So, what are we waiting for?

    0161 515 7204 Manchester

    Hi, I'm Ben - your personal Travel Counsellor based in Manchester, where I have lived for the past 15 years after relocating from over the Pennines in West Yorkshire.I’ve worked in the travel industry for over 17 years - in fact, my interest in the industry stems back to when I first left high school and went straight into a Travel & Tourism apprenticeship.My interest and love for travel really became a passion when I embarked on my first “big trip” – when I packed up and left the UK for a gap year to Australia and Southeast Asia. During this time, the travel bug well and truly took hold, and it was here I developed a love for adventure travel. Since then I have continued to explore the world, visiting almost 50 countries to date. I think my latest tally was 46 - let’s see if 2025 is the year I hit that 5-0 mark! I am one of the lucky few that can say they have ticked off all 7 continents too – as last year I finally made it to Antarctica, a destination that had been on my bucket list since forever!People are always asking me where my favourite place is, or my most memorable travel experience, and honestly it feels impossible to pick just one – so here are my top 5:• Sea-kayaking on the Antarctic Peninsula whilst a humpback whale surfaces metres from my kayak – if you don’t believe that happened, I have video evidence! • New York – I never tire of visiting The Big Apple, and a particular highlight was seeing Wicked (my favourite musical) in it’s home theatre on Broadway. • South Africa – one of my favourite destinations, in particular Cape Town where I lived for 3 months. Cage-diving with great whites, luxury safaris, wine tours – I’ve done it all and happy to share my experiences. • Fiji – it really is the epitome of a postcard-perfect island paradise. Remember those old Bounty adverts? Just like that! • Costa Rica - the scenery and wildlife here is incredible. It's like, all the worlds coolest animals decided to up and relocate to live here!So, you may be wondering where's next for me! Well, if I had to choose, I would probably say my 5 bucket list destinations are Japan, Jordan, Canada, the Galapagos, and New Zealand. Check back in a few months to see if I've made any!After travelling extensively myself, there is nothing I love more than sharing my own travel stories with my clients. Running my own travel business with Travel Counsellors allows me to do just that. As an independent, personal travel expert I can use my industry experience, as well as my first-hand knowledge to create tailor-made, bespoke travel itineraries and adventures for my clients, according to their specific wants and needs. For me, the most important thing is getting it 100% right for you 100% of the time.Whilst I do work alongside a global community of other travel experts, and of course with the backing of the wider organisation (including the full financial protection that this includes) it is myself that you will be dealing with, and that will be looking after you directly every step of the way. Right from the initial enquiry stage, through to the planning and booking of your trip, the lead up to your departure, and even whilst you are away, I am on hand to help, offer advice, and assist with anything that you may need.Throughout my travel career I have always been proud of the warm and friendly personal service that I provide to my clients. And so it was a natural fit for me that I joined Travel Counsellors as the organization under which I run my business – given that they, or should I say we are industry leaders when it comes to the care and service that we offer all who choose to book with us.I would love to bring your own dream trip to life. I work from home, and can be totally flexible to work around your schedule. So if you would like to discuss your own plans, please pick up the phone, send me an email, or even better – lets meet for a coffee and discuss your plans face to face.I can’t wait to hear from you!

    My insatiable wanderlust first began back in 2004 as I stepped barefoot on the sugar white sands of Koh Samet in Thailand. If I close my eyes, I'm right back there in a flash. Since then I've travelled to some of the world's most untouched places, collecting an encyclopedia of knowledge along the way. I've sailed to the remote Indonesian island of Flores to see Komodo dragons and swam in the incredible Kuang Si Falls of Luang Prabang. I've sipped the finest wines in South Africa's Delaire Graff Estate and shopped for spices in India's colourful markets.It’s these life-enriching moments that I love to create for my clients. Being fully independent means it's less about the corporate bottom-line and more about the client experience. Before you book, I spend time getting to really know you - the things you love and anything you loathe. Prefer a window seat on your flight? No problem. Keen to steer clear of crowds? Noted. I'll build a relationship with you that can be likened to a trusted friend, with the back-up of full ATOL financial protection should something go wrong. When it comes to the type of travel I organise, tailormade trips, luxury long-haul, honeymoons and family-friendly holidays are my expertise. For anything else, my network of 2,000+ Travel Counsellors are on hand to help me find the perfect holiday to suit your needs.If this sounds like the type of service you're looking for, I'd love to chat. Call or email me anytime and I'll be in touch!

    Hello, and welcome — I’m truly delighted you’re here.I’m Kirstie Timmins, your personal Travel Counsellor, and the person who turns “I’d love to go someday…” into “I can’t believe we’re actually doing this.” My passion is crafting beautifully personalised journeys for travellers who want more than a typical holiday — they want something thoughtful, effortless, and genuinely unforgettable.In a world full of search engines and generic “best deals,” I offer something different: a calm, considered, boutique service where your experience comes first. No endless scrolling. No overwhelm. No one-size-fits-all itineraries.We begin with a conversation — about what inspires you, the little luxuries you love, how you like to travel, and the moments that turn a trip into a treasured memory. From there, I design a bespoke itinerary shaped with intention, whether it’s a luxury cruise, a hidden-gem retreat, an immersive cultural journey, or something entirely unique to you. My service is warm, flexible, and deeply personal.Want to explore ideas over coffee? Prefer a relaxed chat at home or in your favourite local pub? Absolutely. And once your adventure begins, I’m always just a call away — whether you need reassurance, recommendations, or even directions to the airport (yes, really!).My clients don’t come to me simply to “book a holiday.” They come for peace of mind, for thoughtful detail, and for travel experiences crafted exclusively for them.If you’re dreaming of something extraordinary — something that feels elevated, meaningful, and entirely your own — I’d love to bring it to life. Shall we begin your next unforgettable escape?

    Hello, I’m Norman and I’m happily married to Janet and we have a wonderful Golden Retriever Freya.So you may ask, why choose me to arrange your travel plans?To answer that I’d first like to tell you a little bit about why I started working in the travel industry, way back in 1975.As a young boy, I dreamed of becoming an airline pilot, having been fortunate to travel extensively with my family to some of the far flung corners of the globe, well before tour operators or even travel packages were conceived. As a 12 year old I would often be found sitting in the cockpit with the pilot, asking hundreds of questions and getting my Junior Jet Club Frequent Flyer log book signed.Sadly due to colour blindness, my dream job could never be realised, but that didn’t fade my love of travel and so in my early twenties I took ownership of a local travel agency; in Wigan, learning the trade from the bottom up.Since that date in 1975 I have been responsible for arranging thousands of holidays and business trips for individuals, couples and families, major corporations, a leading TV company and broadcaster, celebrities and professional sports clubs, including their players, backroom staff and an army of devoted fans. I have been known to charter private jets, trains and dare I mention organizing the travel plans of a major political party during a general election.My clients come from all walks of life; have different expectations and budgets, which I try my utmost to fulfil. From room or seating requests, to the dietary requests of a famous TV chef, I’ve learned that nothing is impossible. Sure I still love to travel; who doesn’t?, but I get enormous satisfaction turning dreams into reality and the feedback I receive helps me keep abreast of the constantly changing world in which we live.So, whether you want a mini break or beach holiday, a river cruise, a Caribbean or round the world cruise, a trip to Antarctica, a safari, or journey on The Rocky Mountaineer or Trans Siberian Express. Do you dream of skiing or snowmobiling, or desire a bespoke multi-centre trip to Australasia or the Far East. Don’t worry, I’ve arranged them all.No trip is too big or too small, so with over 45 years in the travel business, give me a call and experience my experience.Norman
