WINGED BOOTS - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Product & Commercial Director
For me, travelling is a way to open new worlds. The adventure of meeting new people, discovering different cultures, exploring novel places and having the most amazing experiences outside of your comfort zone - this is what always gets me excited about travel. I simply love to discover something new.
At the airport, you'll find me… with my nose stuck to a window, admiring the airplanes (yes, I'm an airplane nerd)
Job Titles:
- Personal Travel Executive
After being an apprentice travel agent, I'm now a personal travel executive at Winged Boots. I love to help people find the perfect hotel and destination to suit them, and I like to think I know a thing or two about Europe. Most of the time you can catch me on a plane to somewhere new and exciting. In turn, this means I have a fantastic wealth of knowledge to share with my customers that's always growing.
For me there is nothing better than travel. Whether it's going back to a place where you have been before, exploring new lands and cultures or sailing on a cruise ship and discovering a different port every day, it is always exciting.
I have worked in the travel industry for 19 years and I am a self-confessed holiday addict. Working within luxury sales and as cabin crew, I have made it my mission to visit as many countries as possible. I've been lucky enough to enjoy many world-class hotels and business class flights, travelling to places such as Australia, Thailand, the Maldives and India as well as many European and USA destinations. Every place in the world has a story to tell, from walking above the clouds in the mountains of Oman to dancing the Tango in the streets of Buenos Aires...
Job Titles:
- Business Development Manager
I co-founded Winged Boots in 2008 with David and am lucky enough to have travelled extensively worldwide over the last 40+ years. I aim to visit three to four new destinations each year. Prior to my role at Winged Boots, I worked for BA for 34 years in various roles including in the reservations team, at Heathrow Airport Ticket Desk and in Revenue Management.
David Ox - Managing Director
We created Winged Boots with a passion to offer a great personal service and access to the world's most deluxe hotels from all over the globe. From flights through to family packages and even a dedicated business wing, the brand is growing bigger and better and I wholeheartedly invite you to join us for the ride.
I have been working in the travel industry for 10 years now, something that was never planned, I stumbled across my first travel job as I liked the sound of selling holidays to Orlando, a destination that I had been twice previously and absolutely loved. I found being a personal travel manager very natural, by doing something I really enjoy and getting to talk to people about holidays and travel all day is an absolute pleasure.
I have been extremely lucky to have travelled to some of the most beautiful places in the world, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali, The Amalfi Coast and my personal favourite - Mykonos, as well as spending nearly a year living and travelling around Australia. My bucket list destination is Safari in South Africa, something I have wanted to do from a very young age. I am always looking to explore new destinations and to share my experience with my clients.
Prior to working at Winged Boots I was an air hostess for British Airways where I developed a love of travel. Meeting new people, seeing interesting places and sampling food I've never tried before are my passions. Now I create great relationships with providers and am on standby for all the agents if they need any help with itineraries.
I have 10 years experience working in the leisure and corporate travel industry. I try to visit at least one to two new countries each year, more if possible of course, and enjoy discovering new corners of the world. If you're thinking of heading to Aus then I'm your girl. I travelled and worked in Australia for seven months so if you need any advice, give me a call!
Travel is something I have always had a passion for. Exploring new places, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures or simply just escaping the daily routine! This is what made me decide to study Tourism Management. I find it incredibly fulfilling to help create an unforgettable travel experience for all our Winged Boots clients. I feel very lucky to work for such great company.
I've worked in the travel industry since I left college, I'm not telling you how many years that is! I've done a bit of everything, from repping, to sales, to operations……. I've always loved travelling and exploring new places, making memories and experiences.
There's nothing I enjoy more than packing my favourite shoes and taking them out for a spin in a new country… although my heels did not fare too well on the cobbled streets of Prague recently. From weekends spent touring Europe's finest cities to long-haul flights to North America and the Caribbean, I'm proud to say I have a shoe for every destination.
I first fell in love with travel when I was at secondary school and I've now been working within the travel industry for more than 17 years. I get a real pleasure from helping my clients plan the holiday of a lifetime and finding the perfect destination that's right for them. I've been lucky enough to visit many amazing places with some of my favourites being the urban and easy way of life in Cape Town, the stunning beaches and interesting culture in Thailand and the incredible unforgettable scenery and wildlife spotting in Canada.
Having been in the travel industry for 27 years I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively. If I had to choose my favourite destinations it would have to be the Caribbean and the USA. I have a huge passion for my job. My customers are my number one priority, and I always ensure they get exactly what they are wanting with the best customer service and aftercare in the industry.
Job Titles:
- Head of Sales & Operations
I've been in the travel industry for 24-years so it's safe to say that travel is a big part of my life. I've been lucky enough to visit all different corners of the globe from Spanish islands such as Tenerife through to the United Arab Emirates and Indian Ocean. My bucket list destination is Las Vegas… hopefully I'll manage to go sometime soon.
