MEET THE TEAM - David, Mandy, Anne & Keith.

David - set up Great Experience Travel in 2007 having worked as the director of a number of specialist travel companies and tour operators, since starting in the industry in 1981. He trained originally as a translator in German and French, but then moved to Austria where he worked as a ski rep/ski instructor, before spending 17 years working in the Olympic Games movement organising travel, event ticketing and hospitality for teams, officials, spectators and sponsors. He has worked and travelled all over the world. His specialities are skiing, lakes & mountains holidays, Scandinavia, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan and Malaysia, but also recently discovered New York. He is also a real fan of Austria, Switzerland and Germany, which he believes is a long-ignored holiday destination. Get to know these countries better, by clicking on our Experience links for more information. David is also working on a new travel opportunity - exploring Argentina, working closely with one of the leading specialist wine importers from that great country putting together holidays aimed at food and wine enthusiasts. Watch the website for more information in the weeks ahead.

Mandy - started working as a travel agent on the day after her 16th birthday, and we are far too diplomatic to say how many years ago that was - but certainly enough to give her a wealth of experience. She also spent a period working as a travel company rep in the Greek islands. Her favourite destinations include the Maldives, where she's visited more than 20 of the islands, the Seychelles, Mauritius but is also our Disney and cruise specialist.

Keith - is David's business partner, and as the Finance Director, is the one who looks after the money. Although an accountant by training, Keith's travel passion is for East Coast USA and its Civil War history, and Western Australia.

Why not call in or call us, and one of the team will always be delighted to help. If you want to set up an appointment to speak to a specific member of the team about a destination that you have in mind, we are happy to arrange this. Alternatively, David does 'home visits' in the evenings and at weekends, if it is more convenient for him to come to you, rather than you getting into the office.
