Bio
Bonnie-Sue O’Garey
Working with Richard isn’t just easy, it makes sense. He is passionate, friendly, realistic and knows quite a thing or two. The community platform that he has created during a time of crisis/confusion has kept so many individuals showing up, being present and brave and I would even go as far to say that Richard and The Travel Community Hub are responsible for keeping talent in the industry during the chaos.
Sam Gilbertson
I reported directly to Richard in the time I worked at Equity Travel Group and he is, without a doubt, one of the best managers I have ever had. Aside from making me laugh every single day, it was clear that he really cared about the people in the organisation and I have seen him go above and beyond for both colleagues and clients on numerous occasions. He is smart and straight-talking but approachable with it – I never felt hesitant to broach anything with him and he is a great sounding board to work through any issues with.
