  Continuing my career as a midwife of Business Travel.....always delivering! Continuing to work from home, which I find makes me more productive and better focused than in an office environment.Switched to Sabre GDS, which was rather a challenge after a near 20 year absence!Serviced a dedicated account for just over 2 years, a worldwide technology company with their Global HQ fairly close to where I live. Enjoyed a mix of 3 days working from home and 2 days in their offices, which was a nice mix of work environments.To date I have been servicing the needs of another company with a global presence, again headquartered in the U.K.

  In the main responsible for putting people on pressurised metal tubes at around 35,000 feet and screaming through the sky at 500-550 mph!!No, seriously though, I deal with a wide range of clients, from sole traders through to blue chip companies. I also deal with various motorsport clients, from Rally/Stunt drivers through to support staff for major teams. Many of my clients are happy to pass my details onto others, business by referral is commonplace, together with a very high percentage of client retention. I like to think that the endorsements I've had thus far, are a testament to me and my abilities.Twenty years plus in the industry has given me sound experience of the corporate travel industry. The sector is constantly changing and with the advent of technology, the job is much easier than it was many years ago! A long term user of the Amadeus GDS system and am occasionally involved in some testing of their new products before roll-out.Ever striving to learn new things, challenge myself and provide exemplary customer service as standard. Attributes that have served me well.
