I have worked in travel for 12 years, 11 of those here at the Co-operative Travel: Braintree.

My favourite holiday destinations are Sardinia and Sicily for their fantastic cuisine, beaches & scenery. I have toured the whole island of Sicily and can recommend some amazing hotels there.

I love putting together tailor made itineraries for the USA, Far East & Australasia, ensuring that all my clients’ specific needs and requirements are met.

Cruise is another area I enjoy selling and I have been lucky enough to view a selection of ships to gain first-hand knowledge to guide my customers towards their perfect Cruise holiday.

I have travelled to a variety of places including Rhodes, Corfu, Menorca, Paris, Belgium, Florida, Barbados and the Bahamas.

I’ve worked for the Chelmsford Star Co-op since 1987 and moved to the Co-operative Travel department in 1990.

I have been in travel for over 36 years, and have built up a huge amount of knowledge and experience working in various positions at different agencies.

I was nominated ‘Colleague of the Year 2017’ for the whole of Chelmsford Star Co-op, which was a personal achievement.

My passion is the Far East and Africa having been brought up in Singapore and I have been lucky to go on several safaris to South Africa and Kenya.

I absolutely love meeting people and pride myself on giving good customer service and finding them, in some cases, the holiday of a lifetime. The majority of my clients have moved with me wherever I have worked in the travel industry.
