Business Development Manager
I haven’t always been in the travel industry, in fact, my career path is incredibly varied! I spent a few years as a swim teacher before spending time as a make up assistant. This chapter of my career took me to fashion weeks and incredible set locations for music videos, film and TV. From here I became a dental nurse and then moved into the world of IT before landing in the ever inspiring world of the travel industry. Attention to detail is key, and I pride myself on this skill. I can promise that your business trip is in good hands and will be fulfilled above and beyond your needs.
My favourite trip to date was Sardinia, the beaches are absolutely stunning! My next holiday is to Vilamoura in Portugal’s Algarve. This is a new destination for me and a first time abroad experience for my beautiful boy Rory. I am recently engaged and a dream wedding for us would be abroad. My early thoughts lean towards either the Bahamas or Bali (which I happened to have missed out on a couple of years ago when I fell pregnant!). With a fantastic new career path, a growing son and a wedding to plan, the future is certainly looking exciting.
Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do well; that whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself to completely; that in great aims and in small, I have always been thoroughly in earnest.
Working within the entertainment sector to provide the ultimate in flexibility and service as well a proactive approach towards account management. In 2016 a trans-Atlantic artist management firm approached Your Travel Corporate to construct a travel plan for its UK and USA offices with an annual spend of £750,000.
Prior to working with Your Travel Corporate, the firm had contracted the services of another national travel agent. During the 12 months spent working with this agency, there were significant challenges in service delivery which led to multiple issues, lack of proactive account management and limited delivery of policy compliance.
After a problematic year, the firm took the decision to move away from their substandard agent and seek to engage a new agent – they chose Your Travel Corporate for several reasons;
– The ability to work with a dedicated account manager and director, ensuring a positive relationship and understand of needs was built from the outset.
– Our ability to understand and implement client objectives pro-actively.
– Our personal and bespoke approach to client service.
Results;
With our unique understanding of travel management and the importance of getting it right first time, we could map out a plan to move the firms travel management to Your Travel Corporate, with adequate and well thought out milestones, ensuring that our account management team worked effectively with the firms PA, EA and account team enabling the delivery of a full operational service within 3 months. A third quarter report shows a 19% saving on travel spend and we’re pleased to say that we’ve had extremely positive feedback from our client!
