PROFILE

I joined the ITC family in 2004 and instantly fell in love with both the business and travel. As the CEO, I pride myself on leading the best team in the industry and deeply believe that our inspiration, knowledge, passion and excellence in luxury travel has gone along way in making us the UK’s leading independent luxury tour operator.

Two words: utter bliss. Spring to mind every time I travel with ITC, and I’ve been lucky enough to have had many phenomenal experiences. Our vision is to as a team share these experiences and deliver the ultimate in travel concierge service to ensure our clients get the very best, hassle free & value holidays.

PROFILE

When I joined ITC 20 years ago I thought all my birthdays had come at once - my passion for travel and luxury living had become a career! Spending 10 years as a salesperson provided me with an invaluable insight into the desires and demands of our valued clients and agent partners, which became the perfect platform for me to take on the role of contracting our worldwide portfolio.

Throughout I’ve been blessed with consistent inspiration from the extensive travel experiences I’ve enjoyed, highlights include flying Concorde to New York, bathing in the rock pools at the top of the Victoria Falls to riding pillion on a Harley around Sydney. My favourite holiday spot is the Caribbean where the perfect beaches, cooling breezes, pace of life and charismatic people are all infectious and restores the balance. What keeps me at ITC? The amazing people I work with!

PROFILE

When I started my career in travel back in 1999 I could never have imagined the journey that I was about to embark on…. My initial introduction to travel began in sales specialising in the Caribbean which is still my first love today, how can you fail to fall for its charm!

Why ITC? ITC has given me the opportunity to travel to the most inspiring destinations in the world, service the needs of our valued clients and agents, achieve my career goals and meet some of the most fantastic people who have become lifelong friends.

They say a week is a long time in politics – well, you should try a year at ITC!
It’s my privilege to work here as it really is a unique business. There’s no doubt the market remains overcrowded with luxury wannabees, but when I look at our combined experience, genuine passion and expertise, I believe we have something genuinely special to offer our business partners and customer alike.

Our independence means we can forge close, long term partnerships with likeminded agents that will endure and flourish, unhindered by outside influence. We have so much history and heritage as a luxury pioneer, but it’s the next chapter that I’m most excited about and I look forward to working closely with you in driving our mutual business…

PROFILE

I joined ITC in the summer of 2009 following other finance roles in retail and travel businesses. Travel has always been a passion since backpacking around the States whilst at Uni and a highlight remains a round-the-world trip that my girlfriend (now wife!) and I embarked on in 2003, not quite the luxury that we sell but in parts it came close. The Amazon and New Zealand still sit top of the memory list.

Since joining ITC I’ve been responsible for IT and Aviation as well as Finance so have learned an enormous amount and am constantly overwhelmed by the professionalism and passion that our teams bring to their roles.

PROFILE

I have been with ITC since December 1996 when I first met Drew Foster in Cape Town. The meeting was one that would escalate into a wonderful friendship and which saw me included into not only his family but the ITC family as a whole. I have enjoyed a few roles within ITC over the years from running our ITC Sports department, opening a ground handling team in Cape Town to looking after our agents in the South. All the while being the ITC sports Tour manager responsible for all our escourted tours.

My ambition is to one day put all the people who work for ITC into a big glass jar and take them around the world with me to show everyone I meet what great people and a great company look like.
