Meet the Team

Over the past 50 years, I have founded several successful school travel companies. With Select School Travel I am proud to have gathered an extremely skilled and experienced group of individuals to make up the Select team.

My qualifications and professional experience are within Leisure and Tourism, Public Relations, and as Marketing Manager within premium products. The world of school educational and skiing tours was very much part of my life growing up, and I’m proud and excited to be driving the family business.

I have a wealth of experience in school travel and working with party leaders, ensuring quality with competitive prices. I'm thrilled to be part of the Select team which has brought together a highly experienced and customer focused team.

I have been involved in school travel since 1999, working with a number of market leading operators. Over the past 20 years, no two days have been the same, continually learning about and delivering the support our group leaders need from their operator partner.

My experience in school travel began in 1991. Over the years I have worked to ensure our school clients are provided with successful, safe and secure tours, during an ever changing travel industry and financial climate.

My history within school travel stems back more than 29 years working with a number of well-known brands. The travel advisor team at Select are all highly experienced, which matters in this industry to ensure teachers receive great advice and service.

Over 20 years’ I’ve paired my group and education travel experience with a passion for travelling. It never fails to amaze me how much a ‘real life classroom’ can positively impact young people. I am proud to work alongside party leaders to assist with the planning of their trips.

I have worked within school travel since 1999 and haven’t looked back since. It’s such a pleasure to talk to a party leader about their plans, many of whom I have been seeing for 19 years now.

The team place a high value on providing the best service, quality and value. I love building relationships with party leaders in the South West and helping to make their experience of taking a school trip abroad personalised and stress-free!

I have over 15 years’ experience in the travel industry and a keen explorer myself, with the aim to see the Northern Lights next. My pride is the long-term relationships I’ve built with many amazing schools along my career.

I have been looking after school trips for the past 12 years, and have been seen first-hand the enjoyment and benefits that school trips bring to the pupils and staff. I am very proud of my work and love to spend time exploring the possibilities of new and exciting destinations.

I have worked in the school travel industry for the last 13 years and am delighted to be joining the SST team

I have been lucky enough to travel alongside many school groups and have seen firsthand the difference an amazing school trip can have on the students with it being a once in a life time opportunity for some.

I have been involved in school travel since 1999, working with a number of market leading operators. Over the past 20 years, no two days have been the same, continually learning about and delivering the best support our group leaders need from their operator partner.

I’m fortunate to have spent a good number of years based in the French Alps, as well as several years overseeing school group ski operations in Italy and Austria. I enjoy being part of Select School Travel and working with a great network of overseas suppliers and staff to ensure our groups have fantastic experiences.

I have worked in the school ski travel business for 5 years. I grew up skiing and snowboarding as I was born in Austria and still live here. What I really love about this industry is that it enables pupils to experience and develop a passion for winter sports. I am very happy to be part of such an experienced team.

I started working in school travel in 2003 and have since enjoyed getting to know a wide range of destinations both in the mountains and around the world for educational tours. I love planning and organising operational aspects for trips to make them run a smoothly as possible, but mostly to hear stories from the groups on their return!

It is exciting to be part of a thriving company that has specialist staff with an extensive knowledge and understanding of how the school travel industry works. The company is growing fast and we’re getting glowing feedback from our groups. I love to read the positive emails, praising our staff members for their efficiency and professionalism.

Having started in the educational tours industry in 2006, I’ve been lucky enough to spend 10 years sharing my passion for travel. If I had to choose my favourite destination I would say Normandy; it’s such a special place for school groups, and in the Chateau du Baffy we have a wonderful base that mirrors the history and culture of the local area.

My roles working in school travel and ski have been varied, from junior, working in reception, reservations for adults, to working in resort as chalet girl then becoming a team leader Ski and Lakes and Mountains.
