What Do I Actually Do For Work?

I have been working in the travel industry since 2005 and it's an industry that I love and have a great passion for. I thought it was time to tell you a bit about what I do and why I work in the this amazing industry. 

There are two parts to the business that I specialise in, which are Corporate Business Travel and Leisure Travel. 

CORPORATE BUSINESS TRAVEL

Not all businesses are the same and there is not a one size fits all for travel management for companies. I work with businesses to deliver a solution that is suited to their needs. 

I offer a personalised service to meet your conventional travel needs...or the less conventional ones too. Think of me as not only as a travel manager, but also your travel advisor, where I have a huge focus on service, to save your business both time an money.

The services of features and benefits I offer within the corporate space are: 

- Servicing : 24/7/365 operating (well I don't work 24 hours per day, but we have an after hours team to support your business in those sticky situations or last minute bookings that need to be made

- Technology : An online travel portal for all your travel needs

- Reporting : Transparent reporting so you can see your travel spend and behaviour with real time data

- Affiliations : Negotiated and discounted rates that are generally not publicly available where I am able to save your business money. 

- Groups and Events : Help with organising any business groups / events to meet your requirements

- Payment Options : Offering a choice of options that are flexible and tailored to you. 

WHY AM I DIFFERENT TO YOUR CURRENT CORPORATE TRAVEL MANAGER?

I manage travel for a variety of clients and it really doesn't matter which industry you are in. Each business has their own unique requirements and needs and I sit down with the decision makers to work out a plan for the booking process to meet your needs. I also continually review to see what is and isn't working to ensure that both parties are on the same page. 

My point of difference is my approach and service throughout to ensure optimisation through policy compliance, cost savings, servicing, technology reporting and duty of care. Clients stay with me for a reason. I have a professional relationship with my clients where they have trust and know they can count on me, it sets me apart from the competitors.

LEISURE TRAVEL

As a travel manager at Concierge Traveller, I advise and help plan your perfect holiday. Understanding your travel needs & requirements is the first thing to start preparing your ultimate trip and with my experience, passion and knowledge, I will take the stress away and you will be able to get ready for a well deserved break.

I specialise in luxury travel, as you can see from my blog "Never Ending Traveller", luxury hotels and experiences is what I am most passionate about.  

I am also a Virtuoso Member, which is the leading global network of agencies specialising in luxury and experiential travel. Virtuoso is a global, by invitation-only network or luxury travel agencies and advisors. 

Over the years, the internet markets itself as the best place for you to book your travel with these online travel agencies (which I won't name). But why would you want to spend hours booking travel yourself? I'm able to help elevate every trip for you and get you the best value for your time and money. I can VIP you at hotels, on cruises or tours and have access to many special VIP benefits including : 

- complimentary upgrades

- complimentary breakfast

- spa/hotel credits

- early check in / later check out

With experience in the industry since 2005, I know the world. Just like you may use a financial planner or interior designer, I will help design your trip. I am a trusted resource where my industry knowledge, global relationships and personal experience add tremendous value. It will make travel planning more enjoyable. An online travel agent won't be able to make a booking at that top restaurant in Paris for you.

I would love to speak with you about being your travel manager for your business or the business that you work for and I would also love to help plan your next leisure trip.
