Our story
We're Emily and Sharon: two friends, one English and one Scottish, with a shared obsession for helping travel advisors sell the UK with confidence.
The two of us behind it all
Co-founder
Hi, I'm Emily.
I'm proudly English and call Manchester home, a city famous for its innovation, resilience, straight-talking attitude, and knowing how to get things done. That pretty much sums up my approach to business too.
I've worked my way into senior positions across the UK travel trade, building a career around one thing: helping travel businesses grow. From developing sales strategies to supporting travel advisors and strengthening trade partnerships, I've spent years championing the UK travel industry and the people who make it thrive.
Sales isn't just what I do; it's what I love. There is nothing more rewarding than helping travel advisors build confidence, grow their businesses, and turn great conversations into great bookings. Watching others succeed is just as exciting as hitting the targets myself.
I'm passionate about showcasing the UK as it really is. Yes, our castles, afternoon teas, and red buses are iconic, but the real magic lies beyond the stereotypes. It's found in vibrant cities, charming market towns, spectacular coastlines, and the local experiences that transform a holiday into something unforgettable.
My style? Professional, personable, and refreshingly down to earth, with just the right amount of Northern honesty. I'll always tell it like it is, celebrate your wins, and help you uncover new opportunities to sell the UK with confidence.
So, if you're ready to move beyond the clichés, discover the real Britain, and grow your UK sales along the way, you're in exactly the right place. After all, we do things differently up North, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Co-founder
Hi, I'm Sharon.
"I'm proudly Scottish, born and bred in Edinburgh, and my passion for the travel industry spans over 30 years. When I emigrated to the US in 2009, I didn't just bring my accent; I brought a vision. Since then, I've built a multi-million-dollar travel agency from the ground up, picking up top sales awards from luxury hotels, preferred tour operators, and tourism boards along the way. In short: I know exactly what it takes to make serious money in this industry, and I have the receipts to prove it.
When I'm not running my business, I'm paying it forward. Since 2019, I've been teaching Hospitality and Tourism at Orange Coast College in California, molding the next generation of professionals. But my real mission? Helping you grow your own agency and dominate your UK travel sales.
My style is straight-talking, entirely no-nonsense, but always friendly (think of me as your business-savvy Scottish fairy godmother). I'm here to help you look past the basic tourist traps and teach you how to give your clients the real UK. Let's start by building your confidence and skyrocketing your UK sales, and educating your clients that the magic truly happens when they venture far beyond London!"
We can't wait to be part of your journey.
