I have over 25 years’ experience in the Travel Industry starting off as a YTS at Lunn Poly selling package and tailor-made holidays then furthered my experience and understanding of the industry by joining the airline consolidator, Airsavers.
I then joined Travel 2 where I spent 15 years creating their Specialist Dept programme for products such as Touring, Groups, Cruise and Luxury.
In joining If Only in April 2018, and I have been able to put all these years of experience to great use improving and growing our existing business and helping to drive all of our new brands and products to market such as Caribbean, Canada and Cruise.
I thoroughly enjoy working in the industry, every day there is a new opportunity and I have a phenomenal Reservations team here at If Only. The specialist knowledge, wealth of experience and passion for their work really is second to none in our sector. It sounds corny however it really is a pleasure to come to work each day.
My favourite hotel to stay at:
Niyama Private Islands Maldives really touched my heart and is the epitome of paradise. An uber chilled resort where nothing is a problem for the staff, several restaurants to choose from with fantastic food and wine selection plus a restaurant out in the water and an underwater nightclub. What more do you need!
My favourite place to travel:
Having recently returned from a trip to the USA’s Deep South region taking in, Nashville, Louisville, Memphis and New Orleans I have to say this is a part of the world where Southern Hospitality truly comes into its own. From the Country Music mecca that is Nashville with its 24 hour Honky Tonk live music bars, to the funky Jazz vibe of Frenchman Street in New Orleans, this region truly does have something to offer everyone. A wee trip to the Kentucky Derby in May is also a must if dates and budget allow!
