Hello, I am Vanessa or Ness to those that know me and a HUGE big welcome to my website. I have worked in travel since 1987, beginning my journey in a small bucket shop in Brighton during the days of hand writing paper tickets, just before chalk and slate boards were abolished, and hours upon hours on the telephone, moving to Sealink Dieppe Ferries, for those of you that still remember them, along with Dan Air, Horizon Holidays, Intersun…. Judith Chalmers & Cliff Mitchelmore on the Holiday programmes….
all leave a warm smiley feeling of painting that absolute perfect picture of your holiday…its something I’ve never forgotten and it’s a pleasure to pass this on to my customers that very same feeling every time we book a holiday….. I then moved to Travelcare /Co-operative Travel as a Branch Manager of several shops in East and West Sussex and with each move my lovely customers who are now friends have followed me all the way continuing to book their holidays,the holidays for their children and now their grandchildren. I have been extremely lucky to have travelled to so many countries that it would be far easier to say where I haven’t been! I have so many favourites for different reasons but my amazing experience travelling from East to West of Canada on the famous VIA rail during February where we arrived to frozen lakes, ice sculpted Niagara Falls, wolves, caribou and wintery creatures alongside the wooden wilderness railroad tracks…..
an incredible trip to Malaysia as a guest of a Tour Operator with visits to the private paradise island of Pangkor Laut, the breathtaking scenery of Langkawi, the sights and smells and the pristine beachfront of beautiful Penang and then the highlight “the dance of the fire flies” trip and meeting the King & Queen of Malaysia at the Olympic Stadium in Kuala Lumpur. I have also spent time giving my time back to help, MidCounties now and The Co-operative/Travelcare then have their heart as do I in supporting foundations such as The Travel Foundation. I was honoured to help out in Kenya building and painting classrooms and water wells for a local community and school, taking out classroom and sports equipment from wonderful sponsors and donators, we went on to sponsor the children at a local orphanage on our return and sent out regular school and clothing supplies.
Your Coop have a wonderful membership programme, which if you are not already can join and earn points when you book your holiday through me but also means you support our community schemes which are always helping local projects….obviously as I am in partnership with Your Coop a long-standing ethical brand, you are fully protected by ABTA and ATOL. I hope I have begun to build that picture of who I am, there is nothing I cannot help with, my motto has and always will be……. Never a problem…..always a pleasure…….
Let me paint your perfect holiday.
