A Hays Travel homeworker, who left his teaching job to become a personal travel consultant last year, will be remembered as an inspirational "kind soul" following his sudden passing shortly before Christmas.

Corby-based Jon Berridge spoke about his journey from education to travel at Hays Travel’s recent conference in Turkey a few weeks before suffering “a sudden unexpected cardiac event” on 23 December. 

Hays Travel said Berridge had been “full of energy and enthusiasm for his new career”, describing him as a "truly authentic and warm person".

“Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Jon’s husband and family at this very sad time," said a spokesperson for the business.
