HiThank you for visiting my webpage.My name is Emma Fillingham, I live in Telford, Shropshire and I have more than 23 years experience in the Travel Industry having worked for some of the major high street tour operators. Working in a busy high street superstore meant I wasn't able to offer the level of customer service that I believe people deserve when booking something so precious to them, plus constantly being restricted to what holidays I could sell led me to make the move to Travel Counsellors where I now work as a self-employed independent travel advisor.Travel Counsellors have major contracts in place with almost every tour operator, airline, hotel chain and travel company in the world, so whether you are looking to organise the trip of a lifetime, a round the world cruise, a short city break or a family holiday on the beach somewhere hot, I can be your personal Travel Counsellor and take care of everything for you meaning sourcing all of the best options and allowing you to book the holiday that you want and not the holiday that somebody else wants you to take. Excellent customer service has been the secret to my success in the industry, as your travel arrangements mean as much to me as they do to you. I will go that extra mile to make sure we get it absolutely perfect for you.I have travelled all over the world during my career and have been as far as New Zealand, Thailand, the Caribbean, Mexico, Florida, Egypt, Turkey and many other European countries, not to mention city breaks, cruises, and even Lapland to see Santa himself! This of course means that I have gained a lot of first-hand experience and would love to share this knowledge with you in order to make sure you get the perfect break.I have witnessed the pitfalls of booking online through sporadic websites and there is nothing worse than getting to the airport with no flight seats booked, no transfer to the hotel, or even worse no reservation at all at the hotel. It happens all the time, but not with me, as I will personally confirm everything for you prior to your departure.Please feel free to contact me when it suits you best and let me do the work for you.For me, it’s personal!Emma

Hello, I’m Sue. I have always had a sense of adventure but my passion for travel really began in my early twenties when I spent six months exploring the USA and Canada. An amazing experience, it really opened my eyes and mind to the joys of travelling.Since then I have enjoyed over 28 years working in the travel industry as a travel agent in Canterbury and Broadstairs and more recently as travel store manager in Birchington. During this time I was very fortunate to visit many wonderful destinations including Italy which I love (especially Rome), Greece, Turkey, and the Canary Islands. Travels further afield have taken me to many amazing locations, some personal favourites being Australia including Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef, Dubai, the Far East including Thailand and China and the Caribbean including Mexico. I am also a huge Disney fan and have visited Disneyworld in Florida several times as well as Disneyland Paris, closer to home.As a Travel Counsellor I can offer you independent advice and use my own travel experience together with a wealth of product choice to make sure I find the holiday that is right for you. If I do not have first-hand experience of a destination I have access to over 1000 colleagues around the world who can offer their local knowledge and insight.I love my job and really enjoy helping customers with their own travel plans. I can offer you a friendly, honest and efficient service and because my working hours are flexible I can be available at a time that suits you. You can also rest assured knowing that everything you book with me is 100% financially protected giving you complete peace of mind that your money is safe.No enquiry is too big or too small and I understand that all holidays are special. I can help with arrangements for UK and city breaks, family or group holidays, flights, cruises, luxury holidays, honeymoons, tailor-made arrangements, and much more. So next time you are thinking of making travel plans, why not give me a call or email me, I would love to hear from you."Explore.....Dream.....Discover"

Hi, my name is Heather and I live in Standish, Wigan with my husband and our two children. I’m an independent travel consultant, creating bespoke itineraries to dream destinations. I have over 18 years’ experience working in the travel industry as long haul cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic, a career which afforded me the opportunity to travel all over the world. Having a young family and a husband working overseas, unfortunately put an end to my globe-trotting career, however I have recently put my travel knowledge and experience towards my business as a travel counsellor, allowing me to plan and organise your holiday at a time that suits you. Throughout my career in the travel industry, I would always take pride in providing outstanding customer service with acute attention to detail to ensure my customers always received a unique experience. This mindset is at the very heart of my business. I have travelled extensively with my work and also with family and friends from exploring destinations such as Borneo, Mexico, Australia, the Caribbean and Canada to the bright lights of New York, Las Vegas and Paris. I visit Dubai frequently and love to ski in the French alps as often as I can. My children adore all things Disney and Universal which is where we have spent numerous family holidays. Last year we extended our Floridian trip with a road trip to the Florida keys and Miami. Last year, I was fortunate enough to tick off a big bucket list trip on board the world famous Orient Express, travelling in opulent style from Venice to Paris was truly the trip of a lifetime. Being a Travel Counsellor enables me to provide a tailor made travel concierge service to my clients utilising first-hand knowledge of a variety of destinations, providing both value and peace of mind for the holiday you want. I am entirely self-employed which permits me to be available when my clients need me. Whether that’s in the evening or over the weekend and you will never have to communicate with a chat bot or a call centre, I will be there for you every step of the way, from planning your trip to answering any queries you may have along the way. I can arrange bespoke multi-destination itineraries, car hire, lounge passes, attraction tickets and much, much more. All that’s left for you to do is pack your case! Being a member of the Travel Counsellor family means I have connections to hundreds of suppliers including all major tour operators as well as smaller independent suppliers which can’t be booked online. Having the backing of Travel Counsellors also means all holidays are 100% ATOL protected, clients have 24 hour access to a support team should any unexpected problems happen in resort and all payments are kept in trust until you return from your holiday. For me, creating your perfect itinerary is more than just booking a holiday, its creating memories and experiences for you and you loved ones to cherish for a lifetime. So whether you’re looking to book a city break, a road trip or something completely off the beaten track, contact me today. It will be my pleasure to make your dream holiday a reality. I look forward to talking with you soon. Heather

Welcome! My name is Hannah, I love to travel and I love to help you travel too!Since a young age, I have been fortunate to travel many places and experience many different holiday types. My passion and love for travel is now apparent in my children and we are always planning and discussing our next get away. In the last few years, we have been lucky enough to have some amazing trips, in particular Lapland, Iceland, African Safari Adventure and our first taste of Asia. This summer we enjoyed some time in Devon and our annual trip to France. If you know me, you’ll know every year I say it’s the last and then off we go again! Secretly, we actually love it! It’s easy as we travel by ferry and even Lenny our Lab comes along! This year we went to Normandy for the first week and then travelled down to the Loire Valley for our second week. We’ve been to both areas before; Normandy is rich in its history and very interesting with the beaches and museums. The Loire Valley, renowned for its Chateaux’s, beautiful scenery and Rose Wine is a favourite of ours. Our Italian Adventure in October which saw us exploring Pisa, Florence, Lucca, and Siena and then a train down to Rome. We had an amazing time, fabulous food and locals and was great to fit so much in.This year we have Thailand to look forward to, we are visiting the North this time, rich in culture and traditions we're hoping to see another side of Thailand. Then in the summer the girls and I are off on our first cruise around Scandinavia! I've enjoyed visiting many cruise ships over the last couple of years and did cruise many moons ago but so much has changed, we are very much looking forward to it.I absolutely love hearing from you and helping you create wonderful memories. I truly care about your holiday, I treat it like my own; even down to producing local guides, recommending trips, local information, and restaurants if that is what you’d like. I work with you so that I can have a good understanding of what you and your travel companions would like. I have access to 1000’s of direct suppliers as well as well-known tour operators meaning I have the flexibility to create your perfect trip. If you already have an idea of what you’d like, that’s fine too, it might just take a bit of tweaking.When you book with me you have one point of contact (me!) on hand before, during and after your trip. Sometimes the unexpected happens and if it’s the middle of the night we have our amazing Duty Office who are 24/7 so even if you can’t get me, you know that you are looked after. Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected. Plus you're supporting a small independent business!Please do get in touch to see if I can help you.

Travel isn’t just my passion—it’s my life. With 40 years in the travel industry, I’ve had the privilege of designing unforgettable holiday experiences for clients around the world.As a Travel Counsellor I have the expertise of a whole host of wonderful travel partners across the globe, and together we have tips and touches that can really enhance your holiday experience, making you memories that will last a lifetime.A little bit about me..... I got the travel bug in my late teens and took off for a year motoring across Australia in a beaten-up old VW campervan. I then spent six months backpacking around Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Laos, Bali, Singapore and Sri Lanka which was an incredible experience. I am also extremely proud to say that I worked in Disneyworld, and while I was there I was lucky enough to take trips to California, New York and New Orleans and also down to the Caribbean Islands, Bahamas, and Mexico - and of course I know Florida like the back of my hand!People always ask which country is the best that I've visited, and I always give them my 'Top 4' as they all have different reasons for being so awesome and they all have a very special place in my heart... New Zealand for the sheer breath-taking beauty of South Island. Grenada for that little sparkling gem of an island in an already stupidly beautiful Caribbean. Iceland for its surreal landscape, pure air and magical twilight that really does make you question your very existence, and Kenya for a night I will never forget at Treetops Lodge where I was incredibly lucky to stay in the same room where Queen Elizabeth stayed when she visited as a Princess and left as Queen.I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your next travel plans, I am always happy to chat through thoughts and ideas about any country so please do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me an email.With very best wishes & happy travels,

Hi, I'm LizI'm so happy you have visited my page!My career in travel began over 30 years ago, first as a travel agent and later as cabin crew with a major UK airline. Those years gave me a unique insight into the travel experience both as a customer and a service provider and a true understanding of what makes a holiday special.While raising a large family, I moved into education as a Learning Support Assistant, a much-loved and rewarding role that shaped my patience, empathy and ability to truly listen. These skills now sit at the heart of how I work with my travel clients.For the past year, I have proudly worked as a Travel Counsellor, returning to my lifelong passion with renewed knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm and I continue to learn every day. I love researching faraway shores, imagining possibilities and creating tailored trips that truly fit my clients.I’ve experienced all styles of travel, from short breaks and staycations to family, multi-generational, group, Disney, ski (very much Bridget Jones style!), long-haul, luxury and budget holidays. Favourite destinations include Switzerland, Thailand, the Caribbean, Bermuda, Florida, Ibiza, Skiathos and Cornwall.I am particularly passionate about helping those who find travel more challenging. Whether supporting guests with additional needs, sensory sensitivities or reduced mobility, I take time to ensure the right accommodation, calm spaces and appropriate assistance from quiet rooms and pools to airport and aircraft support. With personal experience of caring for loved ones with differing needs, I approach every trip with patience, understanding and genuine care.The award-winning, fully protected Travel Counsellors model allows me to combine global expertise with a truly personal touch. I’d love to connect, hear your ideas and help bring your travel dreams to life.

Hello and welcome to my personal world of travel.Travel has been a big part of my life, both for work and pleasure. I’ve enjoyed travelling extensively to the Caribbean, South Africa, Far East, Scandinavia and Europe and I have over 30 years’ experience of working in travel, both in the UK and overseas. There is a wealth of choice out there and it can sometimes be daunting to research and book your holiday – that’s where I come in and take all the hard work and (sometimes fear!) away from you. Backed by a multi award winning company, with market leading technology, I can tailor make any type of trip you wish – from a simple flight only, to a fortnight in the Mediterranean, a cruise, an around the world trip or even your dream wedding and honeymoon. From your initial conversation with me, I will take the time to listen to you and ask questions that will help me determine what you want from your holiday. I can also add in all the extras you may need - airport car parking, transfers, vehicle rental, rail journeys, theme park and attraction tickets, travel insurance – the list is endless, but it’s about making your trip as individual and complete as you want.I believe passionately in making travel inclusive for everyone, regardless of ability. If it’s possible to get somewhere in the world, I will not only get you there, I will make sure you have the very best experience possible. Whatever your additional needs or requirements are, I can arrange them.I have also skied for over 20 years, so if it’s a ski holiday you’re looking for, you will know that you’re talking to someone who speaks the right language!Being a Travel Counsellor means I am completely impartial and independent and not tied to any particular travel companies or airlines and you can rest assured that your holiday or trip is protected by our ATOL licence and also the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust.

Hello, I'm Katie, and I've recently taken an exciting new step to turn my passion for travel into a career as a Travel Counsellor. I grew up in the beautiful green countryside of Ireland, surrounded by perfect beaches and so much natural beauty, the kind of place that inspires love for adventure and the outdoors. Over the years, I've been lucky enough to explore parts of Europe, including France, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Denmark and the Netherlands, and once made it across the Atlantic to New York! Each destination has given me unforgettable memories and a deeper passion for travel. Before starting this journey, I worked in retail, and later qualified as a veterinary nurse and spent many years caring for animals. Caring for people and animals has always come naturally to me, and I love bringing that same care and attention to detail into planning holidays. I'm also a proud mum of two little boys, who remind me every day how precious shared experiences and memories are. I believe travel is one of the best ways to learn about ourselves, it opens our minds, enriches our lives and helps us see the world, and ourselves, in a new light. I'm especially excited to help my clients make memories that will last a life-time, whether it's a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a once in a lifetime trip, I take pride in creating something truly special for every client. Let's make your next holiday one to remember!

I have been very lucky to have travelled as a child, a teenager and as an adult, and now as a parent to an array of destinations worldwide. I am also a very experienced skier. If I could holiday anywhere in the world I would take a flight to Turks and Caicos( That hasn't changed not got there yet !) as I would love to lounge around on their beautiful white sandy beaches and swim in the clear blue seas, and also swim with the marine life.

That’s probably why I felt the need to escape and see a bit more of the world; travel after all broadens the mind.Sport and travel have always been passions of mine and I have combined the two by arranging and selling skiing holidays for many years and I have also been involved in running cricket and rugby tours to both the UK and Europe.I’ve been in the travel industry for over 30 years and have experienced and enjoyed many different roles so I have a great understanding of what you, the customer wants from every aspect of their holiday.From being an overseas representative in destinations as diverse as Ibiza and Switzerland and contracting hotels, apartments and villas in Cyprus, Turkey, the Canary Islands, mainland Spain, Greek Islands and many, many more fabulous holiday destinations, my main ambition has always been to ensure that everything is right for the customer!I’m often asked what my favourite holiday destination is and it is so difficult to pick just one place from all the great and varied opportunities out there. However here goes with a few favourites: for skiing I love Italy, as much for the food and atmosphere as the skiing, Australia and India are places I must visit again as there is so much more to see. I have a particular soft spot for Cyprus, its history and its people. My favourite cities must include Florence, New York, Lisbon and Sydney.I look forward to helping you visit some of your personal favourites or even better discover your own brand new “dream destination”.

Hello! My Name is Sheena and I have been a dedicated travel professional for almost 20 years. It's fair to say that travel has always been my biggest passion in life since I first heard my intrepid grandparents telling their amazing adventure stories. After studying an International Tourism Management degree, I started my career as a long-haul tailor-made travel expert 19 years ago and have never looked back. I feel so lucky that my job is to help people create their dream honeymoons, weddings abroad, special occasion holidays and travel itineraries where the most amazing memories are created. Having always worked in the long-haul tailor-made holiday sector, there are not many places left in the world that I have not gained experience in arranging a trip to, so you can be rest assured that you will be in very safe hands with me organising your special holiday. Personally, I love exploring Europe these days too, so I enjoy arranging closer to home holidays for my customers as well.Of course, I love travelling and visiting wonderful destinations myself (68 countries and counting…). Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa are 3 destinations that I have visited frequently as well as having lived in Florida and then Australia for a while. I have also travelled extensively in South America, North America & South East Asia as well as Russia, Mongolia and China. Being a homeworker means that I can be available to talk to you when you are not busy working or looking after the children, whether that’s on an evening or a weekend. How convenient - a Personal Travel Consultant available at times when you are! If you are local to me then I would love to meet in person over a coffee too.It all starts with a chat where I can understand what is important to you about your holiday, learn what your preferences are and why, and then I can make the best recommendations to suit you. Plus, to make sure your holiday is extra special, I will help arrange all the little extras that make it perfect, such as finding a romantic spot to propose, or the best seafood restaurant in the area, as well as any unique experiences. Being part of Travel Counsellors means that all of my packages are fully financially protected, providing security and quality to every trip - plus of course you have an expert onboard with 20 years’ experience.So please get in touch via email or by calling me, or simple place an enquiry above. I cannot wait to hear about your holiday plans.

My name is Sharon Messett and I have more than 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, including 20 working as a Travel Counsellor. It’s a role I love, as it gives me the chance to embrace my passion for travel on a daily basis, exploring new destinations through my research as well as returning to old favourites. I find it enormously rewarding helping my clients find the best experience possible for the type of holiday they want, whether it be a ‘flop and drop’ family beachside holiday, or a luxury retreat.I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively myself; including trips to Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Africa, North America and the Caribbean, and have gained intimate knowledge of these long-haul destinations. Now that I have children, I am enjoying discovering more short-haul destinations around Europe including some amazing road trips with them to central Europe. For me, one of the best things about travel is the freedom that it gives you – travel brings anticipation, education, excitement and the joy of adventure into your life!TRAVEL WITH A CONSCIENCE My travels have also shown me the positive and negative effects of tourism; at its best when it is supporting communities who rely on visitors for their income, and at its worst where over-tourism has had a detrimental effect on locals and the environment. Over time, this has given me the opportunity to reflect, and I have realised that I have a growing interest in sustainable tourism. I would like to help you to find holidays and destinations which are amazing experiences and have a minimal impact or preferably offer positive environmental footprints.Travelling sustainably and responsibly is becoming increasingly more and more important for many travellers, and as your Travel Advisor I can carefully consider how to assist in building your perfect itinerary to make your trip kind to both people and our planet. I believe that sustainable travel also helps us to have more authentic travel experiences – visiting unspoilt places and immersing in the local culture is one of my passions, and one that I share with many of my clients.BOOK WITH ME AND I’LL LOOK AFTER YOU When it comes to travel, it’s important to know that you are booking with someone dependable, who you can trust, and who understands your precise needs every step of the way. The close relationships I build with each and every one of my clients, and the levels of care I can provide as your Travel Advisor, means that no-one can look after you better than I will. It makes me extremely proud to know that so many of my customers have recommended my services to their family, friends and associates. Being an independent Travel Advisor means I am not restricted to using only major holiday companies and allows me to create the perfect trip for you. Booking through Travel Counsellors also gives you security, as your money is completely financially protected against supplier failure by ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust.LOOKING AHEAD – PLAN YOUR GETAWAY I am sure that many of you, like me, want to plan a holiday for 2025/2026 - to have something to look forward to. Let me provide you with first-hand expertise and information to inspire your next adventure and let's see where the next year takes you.If you are unable to travel yet, then the next best thing to travelling is talking about it and planning it. Therefore, if you can't yet go where you want to just yet, let's discuss your plans instead. Please give me a call or send me an email and we can have a chat!

Hi everyone, Welcome to my page! My name is Gaynor, and I live in Southampton, Hampshire with my new husband, Paul !.From an early age, travel has always been a passion of mine, and whilst I started my working life in Retail, Travel was always a big part of my life - I was always the one out of my girlfriends to look for holidays, the one my parents turned to for 'where shall we go this year' advice, and then latterly the natural choice once I had a family with, 'Mum, can we go here?? ...' So imagine how lucky I felt when I was able to follow my heart, and I now have over 25 years' experience in the Travel Industry, with visits to over 60 countries and destinations! We're not meant to stay in one place, are we?....... Being able to travel and experience things beyond the 'everyday' is exciting - can be challenging - but ultimately fulfilling. We all dream of feeling the warm air on our face as soon as we step out of the plane, or that first step onto the beach feeling the sand in our toes, or the smells and tastes we associate with being on holiday and trying something for the very first time.......Which is where I can help - I can apply all my years of 'experiences' and help you fulfil yours, be it a fun-filled action-packed weekend break in that city you've always wanted to visit, a recharging break at a Spa or country retreat, that longed-for Beach or Cruise getaway, or even to tick off a 'bucket list' trip, I'm here, and I can make all those dreams of finding new places to explore, and new people and cultures to experience, become a reality. I will look after you from your initial enquiry stage to your return, every step of the way, ensuring the worry, stress and time spent trawling through endless confusing and unfriendly websites becomes a thing of the past !I'm also lucky to be part of an award-winning company that has shown how, and what it means to look after it's clients - we didn't come Top of a recent MoneySavingExpert Poll for nothing! Your money is safe with us - it's 100% financially protected in our Trust, along with ATOL Protection, and a flexible booking policy.You can also forget about long call centre queues, as you have a direct link straight through to me, 24/7, either phone, email or Social Media. I work from home, so I'm available when it suits you, so I guess you can refer to me as your very own Travel Concierge ! So, please drop a line when you're ready - I can't wait to hear from you !" A Ship In a Harbour Is Safe, But That's Not What Ships Are Made For......" John. A. Shed

Hi I'm Pam and welcome to my page.I live in the Rochdale area and have worked within the travel industry for more than 40 years so it’s relatively safe to say I know a thing or two about travel.My client base is extensive and rapidly growing for both business and leisure. My business is based on referrals, so I like to think my growth is down to the high level of service I provide, which most important of all provides you, the customer, with total peace of mind.As you are probably aware the industry is rapidly changing. In order to meet the challenge of change we at Travel Counsellors are equipped with the most up to date technology that permits me to give you, the customer, precise advice that is geared totally around your own individual requirements.Why Travel Counsellors and not a high street agency you may ask yourself? On the high street the conventional method of selling is directional. Therefore you’ll be recommended specific companies which benefit that particular high street agency. In contrast, I’m completely independent so I have no ties to any particular tour operator or supplier. I’ll recommend the holiday that is right for you and is geared to your individual requirements. In addition, I offer a 24 hour service. I’m always available, and it will always be me that you deal with as there are no call centres. I’ll be there on the end of the phone should you require anything prior, during, or after your trip.So if you want a holiday that is as individual as you, where your business is valued and not just a sales statistic, be it a cruise, UK break, flight, Package holiday or around the world trip why not give me a try?I look forward to hearing from you.All the BestPam

Hello and thank you for visiting my Travel Counsellors web page. As you’re reading this page, you’d like to know how I can help you? Do you love to travel, but haven’t got either the time or inclination to research? That’s only part of the free service I provide, I’ll create your holiday according to your requirements, however simple or complex you would like. With access to thousands of hotels, airlines, excursions, airport parking and insurance I’m literally a one stop travel shop – all at a time to suit you and from the comfort of your own home.Love the research, but can’t be sure whether the company you’re using online is legitimate? I offer 100% financial protection – your money is secure and will only be used for your holiday.What if things go wrong before you travel or while you’re away, would you like someone to speak to; someone who will act in your best interests? Recent events have reinforced the need to use an experienced travel provider. I promise I will always be available for you to speak to, right up until the moment you return from your holiday.My decision to become a Travel Counsellor was born from a love of travel and a desire to help others realise their travel dreams. I’m passionate about good customer service – something which is sadly lacking in this transaction led online environment. I provide my customers with a personal service; they only ever deal with me and I’m delighted I have some wonderful customers I now call friends.My love of travel goes back a long way; sparked by my first holiday abroad, a two-week Mediterranean cruise with school. As soon as I could I went to work for an airline – only leaving to bring up my two, now grown up, children. They both had their first holiday abroad when they were 3 months old and still love to travel. When the children were younger, we had lots of family trips to Europe (particularly Germany) and USA. More recently my husband and I have had some real ‘bucket list’ holidays – visiting Morocco, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Uganda, Tanzania, Hong Kong and Australia. We’re still busy planning more trips, but the list just gets longer!If you’re considering your next holiday why not get in touch for a chat – I promise you won’t regret it.

Closer to home, I’ve visited the USA and Canada many times and love exploring the open road on a fly drive trip, taking in as many National Parks as possible. I also frequently visit Asia, often en-route to Australia, and enjoyed experiencing the different cultures in Myanmar and Thailand; and a fly drive in South Africa left me wanting to see more of this vast country.

Hi and thank you for taking the time to view my profile.My passion for travel started back in 1993 when after six years of working for National Westminster Bank, I decided I wanted to see the world. I travelled to Africa, India, Nepal, Thailand, Mexico, Guatemala and finally Canada where I stayed for three years working in an art gallery in Toronto, and worked my way across to Vancouver with the same company.On my return to the UK in 1997, I started a position with Fidelity Investments but quickly realised my bug for travel was not satiated and in 1998, embarked on a trip to the Philippines, Fiji and Australia where I worked for St George Bank for nine months. I visited Guatemala for the second time travelling by bus through Mexico up to San Francisco where I stayed for five years. I travelled extensively across the west coast visiting Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada and of all the places I visited, Lake Tahoe is my favourite. I returned to the UK in 2003 and naturally it made perfect sense to me to embark on a career in travel so I joined Flightcentre UK, firstly in the direct stores in New Malden, then moving to Sutton Surrey store where I remained until 2007. I was sent on numerous educational trips to destinations such as South Africa, New Zealand, Rio, New York and countless European countries all of which were fantastic and enabled me to gain an extensive knowledge of how travel operators and hotels work. I happily share this knowledge with customers and colleagues alike with the aim of benefitting their travel experience.In 2007 I decided to move to Corporate Traveller. I was spending more and more time with corporate clients, establishing their needs, cementing business relationships, making recommendations and thus making savings. I managed a number of very high profile accounts, examples including Aston Martin, BBVA bank, Celebrity Speakers, Circassia Pharmaceutical and many others and I always maintained the relationships with both bookers and travellers to a very high standard. I have won customer service awards and was the only consultant in the company to attend the Global Ball in Berlin in 2018, (runner up in 2019) based on customer excellence survey results and pride myself on the relationships I have with my clients. I have now embarked on a career with Travel Counsellors, a company founded in 1994, with full ATOL protection, over two thousand staff, full out of hours protection, Queens award winner three times, a five star trust pilot rating, British Travel awards winners and most important of all for me, a company with a truly holistic approach to customers and consultants. Our priorities will always be your safety and your travel experience.Kind regards,Brian Costello.

Hi, my name is Dawn Scott, and I am an independent travel agent from Edinburgh area. I joined Travel Counsellors because I wanted to give clients the very best personal service and travel advice which the company firmly believes in. I have over 18 years of travel experience working in retail and business travel and have travelled extensively around the world. Travel Counsellors is a world leading, independent company offering 100% financial protection, 24/7 care whilst you are travelling and technology that provides personalised information about all of your bookings in real time on your app. Using the technology we have I will tailor the right holiday to your individual needs, whether it is a staycation, city break, a week in the sun or an adventure in faraway places. This means I can build your very own bespoke holiday and save you money! Which is always a bonus!Many people are still unaware that most high street agents are restricted in selling a limited number of tour operators but here at Travel Counsellors we are completely independent, and this allows me to offer you the best choices while benefiting from the buying power of being part of such a large company. I know that our lives have become busier and not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during working hours therefore you will be able to contact me at a time convenient to you when most travel agencies are unavailable. Taking care of even the smallest detail is what makes our service so unique. All clients will benefit from a personal and professional service from the comfort of your own home. If you would like any information or simply an informal chat about your future travel plans, I would be delighted to assist you.

I have worked in the travel industry in both leisure and corporate travel for over 20 years now. A gap year desire to travel became three years of living and working in various far-flung places, but I found I was always working for small tour companies, at hotels and once even on a yacht around Madagascar!My desire to travel and work within this industry lead me first to leisure and tailor-made trips. The conversation of where to go and what to do when there, to make every trip full and unforgettable with someone is always a great experience. I still travel as often as possible as there is no substitute for real first experience of that feeling when you walk into an amazing lobby or just warm and charming hotel. There is no way to describe the sand between your feet or a wonder of an ancient temple without the feel and sense of awe. That’s what I get to sell. While I have a passion for these trips, my long career lead to a focus on corporate travel over the last 8 years. The fast pace and often complicated logistical nature is something I found I really enjoy. While the travel may be corporate, I believe the service should be personal and in a friendly manner. I have experience with meetings, groups, conferences and can assist in writing and implementing travel policy and booking process if needed.

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to check out my webpage. Let me introduce myself, my name is Lara Jackson and I am excited to say I’m a Travel Counsellor based in Cheshire. A bit about me: I am married with 1 teenage son and as you can imagine their passion is football but mine is very much travel so the more football they do the more travelling I do (it’s only fair) meaning I have been lucky enough to visit some amazing destinations over the years.Travel has not only been my passion but fortunately it has been my profession and since leaving education 20 years ago (where does the time go?) I have worked for some of the leading travel organisations in the UK dealing with a wide variety of different travel requirements from, cheap and cheerful breaks to tailor-made holidays of a lifetime as well as more recently diversifying into business travel helping companies making the most of what they spend on travel. I have always wanted to work for myself but at the same time I wanted to ensure I had the infrastructure to make sure I could offer the best deals whilst delivering exceptional service to my clients and being part Travel Counsellors has given me the platform to do that. I always go above and beyond and particularly in these uncertain times, like me, you’ll always want to make sure you can pay for your holiday with the confidence that should anything go wrong then you are 100% financially protected.So why book with me? I’m well-travelled, what I mean by that is I have travelled to over 51 different countries and 5 continents, including; Europe, America, Hawaii, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Cook Island, Asia, Kenya, India, United Arab Emirates, Indian Ocean, Caribbean, Costa Rica and Egypt. Also if you’ve missed a connection or lost a document there’s no need to be caller number 872 on a travel website’s customer service line, I’ll be there to assist you 24/7 365 days, I’ll always endeavour to find you the best deal whether it’s a 1-stop beach holiday or for every aspect of a complicated multi-destination trip. Travel means everything to me and I know your holiday does to you, it isn’t just selling you a holiday it’s hopefully the start of a long-term relationship so whatever your needs my aim is to make your trip as simple and stress-free as possible.Thanks for considering me and hopefully look forward to speaking to you soon.

I’m Vicky — your personal travel concierge and passionate travel expert.One of my favourite quotes is, "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." That line has always spoken out to me and is one I like to remind others of. My love for travel began in childhood, spending blissful days on the beach in Tenby — to little me, it felt like another world entirely. Since then, the travel bug never left me. It’s led me down the most beautiful paths, filling my heart and soul with unforgettable memories.From cycling solo through the colourful rhythms of Cuba, to mother-son moments in Tasmania — eating fresh oysters on Maria Island and sharing space with friendly wombats and curious possums. I've learned ceramics in charming Monopoli and had the joy of meeting the oldest resident of the magical Trulli in Alberobello. I’ve driven through the dreamy Douro Valley in a camper van, trekked the mighty Annapurna, and road-tripped across the USA with my daughters by my side. Cruised Europes Rivers and Oceans, Hiked many paths and walked on many beaches across the globe.I've explored 39 countries (and counting!) and each adventure has been a chapter in the most beautiful story — one I want to help you begin or continue, too.These days, I split my time between the rolling hills of Cheltenham in the Cotswolds and the calming sea breeze of Hannafore in West Looe — two places that bring me so much joy. I share life with my three grown-up children, my sweet dog Dixie, and Tommy the three-legged cat who always keeps things interesting!With over 35 years in the leisure and hospitality industry, my heart truly lies in creating experiences that feel thoughtful, joyful, and just right.

Hi… I’m Wayne and I have been in the travel industry now for over 40 years. The last 30 years, I have been selling cruises… a great passion of mine from when I was a young boy. I have cruised and travelled extensively as you’ll see. I am married to Pam and we have two gorgeous daughters, both married to wonderful boys… four adorable grandsons, two courtesy of each daughter, and a beautiful granddaughter too. Nearly forgot.. we have a cheeky little dog as well.I have seen so many places on my cruise travels and many who know me have caught the bug too. Some of the more memorable trips have been a QE2 Transatlantic crossing, Fred Olsen’s Black Watch Amazon, Silversea’s Silver Cloud Red Sea, Crystal Serenity’s Caribbean, Regent Navigator’s New York and Bermuda, Holland America’s Maasdam Panama Canal, APT‘s AmaBella Danube… and numerous other trips to the Baltic, Fjords, Spitsbergen, Mediterranean, South Africa, Far East and more.I live in Manchester and have worked from home for many years now. You cannot cruise and travel as much as I do without building up an extensive and varied knowledge base of all the sights, sites (yes, a little bit of a tongue twister), and places I’ve visited on my travels. I get excited at the thought of sharing my first-hand knowledge and experiences with people I talk to. I am no “tick box” traveller. To me, every single trip is full of the memories we create from them.I have to confess that my evenings out with friends invariably end up in us talking travel and I love hearing as much about their experiences as they do about mine. What free time I have I love being with family, reading, listening to relaxing music or walking our dog. Cruising remains my passion, as you will realise when you speak to me. If it’s cruising, cruises, cruise ships, cruise destinations…. in fact, just about anything cruise related, then get in touch with me.My many clients trust my no-nonsense, professional and “say what I do, do what I say” approach. You’ll be in good hands with your cruise and travel arrangements being handled by me personally.

I have been fortunate to visit Australia, Canada, America, Mauritius, Thailand, China, Dubai, Caribbean many European countries and cruising.My memorable experience was walking the Great Wall Of China in the snow the scenery was breath taking I enjoyed the culture, the history seeing the terracotta warriors was amazing.

Hi, I’m Soozie, your personal TC based in Bookham, where I live with my husband, son and our 2 dogs.Travel has been part of my life since I was young, from UK & European family holidays to more exotic adventures in the Far East and Indian Ocean. I even said “I do” in Las Vegas, followed by an unforgettable visit to the Grand Canyon, because I have always believed that travel should be personal, memorable and a little bit different. Over the last 25+ yrs in the industry, I have turned that passion into a career, helping clients create trips that feel truly special, from simple beach breaks to once‑in‑a‑lifetime journeys.My favourite destinations are hard to choose, as every trip is unique, but a few stand out. The Maldives has a big piece of my heart. The white sands, crystal‑clear water and incredible marine life are simply breath-taking. Watching manta rays glide through the water in the evening, spotting baby reef sharks at the water’s edge and snorkelling with colourful fish are memories I will never forget. Even the seaplane transfer feels like the start of the adventure as you fly over tiny islands and land beside the pristine beaches.Mauritius is another firm favourite and one of my top‑selling destinations. Here, you have stunning beaches plus the freedom to explore safely, perhaps by hiring a car and discovering waterfalls, viewpoints and local markets. It is fantastic for weddings, honeymoons and special celebrations - which I can help with.I also have a real love for the Far East. Thailand, with its delicious food, friendly people and mix of culture & beach, is always popular. I work a lot with touring and adventure holidays across Asia, India & Japan, as well as South America and bucket‑list destinations such as Antarctica.Most recently I travelled on an escorted tour of Saudi Arabia and a tour in Jordan, which were both incredible. From ancient sites and dramatic desert landscapes to warm local hospitality and lesser‑known cultural experiences, these trips have really deepened my knowledge of the Middle East. I now love helping clients who are curious about these emerging and more adventurous destinations.As a Travel Counsellor, I am part of an award‑winning company with a unique financial trust, which means everything I book is 100% financially protected. This peace of mind is one of the key reasons I chose to join Travel Counsellors. I have access to a huge range of trusted suppliers and can put together almost any kind of trip: tailor‑made itineraries, escorted tours, adventure and small‑group journeys, Indian Ocean and beach escapes, USA and city breaks, Alaska and cruise, Lapland and winter wonderland breaks, ski holidays and sports travel including cycling and golf.I am also proud to have been selected as a Tour Ambassador within Travel Counsellors, reflecting my particular expertise in touring, adventure and bucket‑list travel. I regularly train with our suppliers, keeping up to date with new tours, routes and best sellers, so I can match you with the right style and pace of trip, whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with friends or as a family.When you book through me, you support a local small business and gain your own dedicated travel expert. I save you time by doing the research, compare the options for you and design holidays that are tailored to your tastes. Many of the complex tours and combinations I create are not easily found online. I am at the end of the phone, WhatsApp or email, and for local clients I will often hand‑deliver tickets and documents where I can. I can also arrange appointments outside normal office hours to suit your schedule.I genuinely care about getting it right and I love the challenge of finding the perfect holiday, whether that is a relaxing beach, a cultural tour, an epic road trip or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime expedition. If you are starting to dream about your next escape or that big bucket‑list adventure, I would love to help bring it to life.

Hello and welcome, my name is Ian Gifford, I live in Chalgrove, near Oxford with my wife Barbara. We have been here for eight years having lived and worked all over the UK. We love this location because of the friendly village community and the fantastic links to the world, with Heathrow only 40 minutes away.My dad encouraged my passion for travel from a very early age, taking me on exciting day trips to London, although I can still remember being too terrified to climb the ladder at the top of the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral!As a teenager, I just wanted to see the world. I completed cycling tours to the West Country and organised school walking tours that led to running a New Forest Youth Hostel. My early career in hospitality ensured a strong appreciation for food and wine, which included running our own hotel and restaurant, that is why I feel local food and drink is an exciting part of travel.Customer Service is part of my passion, going the extra mile, delivering the unexpected, when Covid-19 emerged I worked 24/7 to successfully repatriated all my customers from Australia, Vietnam, Philippines, Costa Rica and the Maldives, often needing to re-route and re-book as a result of restrictions that were emerging all the time. However, this is my approach even without CV-19 it is being there on the end of the phone when the customer needs me or resolving a problem before the customer is even aware. On one occasion, at 11pm, I became aware that Yosemite National Park was about to close, due to fires, my family were due to go two days later, I found alternative accommodation and then called the customer, confirming everything whist they stayed by the pool.For my business customers, I have arranged events for companies including elaborate dining in unusual locations, an amazing firework display and made sure guests got to a Champions League match when all flights were cancelled due to an airport closure. However, with business travel it is all about being available to help plan, manage changes and provide solutions so the customer can concentrate on his priorities.Identifying my favourite destinations is a challenge, however, seeing leaping Mantra Rays off the Pacific coast of Mexico was amazing, and the rustic village restaurant in Pergine Valdarno, Tuscany provided a uniquely warm feeling with other unforgettable experiences such as Samaria Gorge in Crete at dawn, skiing in powder at Verbier, Golf in the Algarve or watching a Grand Prix in Malaysia.Whether it is advising a restaurant on a client’s food allergies or organising a private tour in Rome, making sure your travel plans are exactly how you want them is vital. It is my responsibility to ensure you have first class service, before, during and following your trip.I am here to help, at times convenient to you, some of my clients have been in different time zones and I have planned calls at midnight before now, so if it is better for you to talk in the evenings or at weekends, that is fine with me. I look forward to talking with you soon.

Welcome everyone. I’m Deborah and I live in South Northants close to Milton Keynes along with my husband Steve and son Sebastian.My interest in travel was sparked at the age of 12 by a school project about ancient Egypt. I was fascinated and promised myself that I would one day see this mysterious place for myself and that I would definitely have a career in travel. I have done both and have had the most amazing time working in the travel retail sector as a travel consultant and a store manager and I have won various awards both individually and as part of the teams I have been fortunate to work with over the years. Consequently I have had 40 years of holidays and work trips (all in the line of duty) and therefore have a wealth of knowledge of this wonderful world which I love to share with my customers.I have enjoyed everywhere I have visited but my favourite is Italy so much so that we have bought a little renovation project down in Puglia. Otherwise I have such special memories of family holidays to Disney, Lapland, beautiful beach breaks across most of Europe, exciting city breaks around the world, Caribbean treats, relaxing and indulgent cruises, and tailor made trips to Canada, the Far East, USA, Brazil, New Zealand and Australia. I look forward to hearing about your experiences and helping you plan your next adventure. I will work tirelessly to find the perfect holiday and look for ways to make it extra special. I will be honest and offer unbiased advice and above all I will never underestimate the size of your emotional and financial investment. I will support you throughout.So whether you are looking for a UK break, a tailor made worldwide itinerary, a city break, a relaxing week on the beach, a river or ocean cruise I would love to help you. I am available when and how it suits you. We all have different life schedules and I can work around yours.Please feel free to contact me by phone or email. The details are below. We already have our passion for travel in common so I know this will be fun.

Hello, my name is Leia and I am excited to be your local Travel Counsellor based in Ruddington, Nottinghamshire.After 10 years of working for a High Street Tour Operator specialising in Long Haul Travel, I took the plunge to become a Travel Counsellor in 2020 (no need to say anything more about that!) I love being able to offer a personal service to my customers which means they get looked after from initial enquiry right through to their return home. I love everything about travel but my background is in long haul tailormade travel, so anything where you want to get off the beaten track, or visit a number of different places, is what I love helping you plan. I've 16 years experience in making your travel plans a reality. It all starts with a chat on the phone, in person or over video call. If you are local, feel free to stop by Ruddington Village Market on the 1st Saturday of the month to have a chat with me or visit my office on the High Street.I've lived and worked in Japan, Australia and the USA. I've experienced budget travel post university, family travel and been treated to some luxury on many of my work trips. These trips are a great way for my to experience new destinations and visit a range of hotels to recommend to my clients.The places on my bucket list to visit are Sri Lanka (I'm visiting this year!), Costa Rica, cruising fjords and South Korea.
