40 year travel and tourism career working across tour operations, OTA’s, Marketing and Representation. I've held senior roles with well-known tour operators including Unijet, Virgin and Club Med and more recently with Marketing and PR agencies, KBC and Finn Partners. As well as extensive experience in both the sun and ski sectors in the UK market, I've also spent time in Europe, working in both France and Germany. I've previously served as a director of the Federation of Tour Operators and the Institute of Travel and Tourism and was for a number of years a regular columnist with Travel Weekly.
