Tour Co-ordinator
After travelling across the States on a four-month road trip and around the world the following year, it became obvious that working in the travel industry was the next step. I enjoyed many years travelling in the industry before settling down with my family.
However, the travel bug doesn’t go away as I went back to work for a Sports Travel company organising rugby, hockey and netball school tours to Europe. I was fortunate enough to experience many of the European destinations our groups visited, which was a great advantage when advising nervous Tour Leaders!
After 17 years, I decided to venture to pastures new when a great opportunity came my way to work at Venatour. There is plenty of variety in the job but my main goal is to arrange sports and cultural tours for schools travelling to the UK. I certainly know a lot more about arranging cricket fixtures than previously!
Netball was my sport at school along with lacrosse and hockey but these days an International at Twickenham is very much enjoyed. My sporting highlight must be finding myself standing next to Jonny Wilkinson in a Twickenham food shop just before the 2003 Rugby World Cup and having a nice chat with him about England’s expectations – what a hero!
