Mayall joined Designer Travel in 2008 and was close to managing director Amanda Matthews. "Our beautiful Angela was taken taken too young and so quickly," said Matthews, posting to Facebook.
Matthews revealed the pair met in hospital during pregnancy more than 20 years ago and described their bond as an instant connection – "one you may never get in your lifetime".
She encouraged Mayall, who was based in Saddleworth, to join the travel industry, and said she was "the best, multi award-winning professional". "[She] cared so much for the people who trusted her with their travel plans," said Matthews.
