In the six years Thea Gillingham has been a Travel Counsellor, she has steadily built her business, with the last year being her best ever when she brought in just under a million pounds. Her bookings are 100% leisure-based, and she works mostly with two main client types: millennials and young families.
“I always try to focus on high-end experiences but also on value for money,” she says. “Premium leisure is definitely the direction things are going for me, with Asia and South Africa being two of my biggest long-haul destinations, and then Greece is probably my number one spot in Europe. It is a real mix though, I do book all sorts.”
