It's Nice To Meet You

Thank you for visiting my page. Please note my name was previously Claire Horne

My name is Claire Tavender and I am based in Goring by Sea, West Sussex but have customers all over the world. As a Travel Counsellor the most important thing for you and your business is that I can give you a truly personal service that is second to none.

I have worked in business travel for over 25 years and during this time have managed corporate travel for small organisations through to large global companies. I also arrange incentive travel and have a great deal of experience in dealing with large groups. No enquiry is too big or too small, whether you need a hotel for the night or a complicated business trip I am available for you to call.

My move to Travel Counsellors, 20 years ago, has enabled me to offer the very highest level of service and independent travel advice, with the freedom to assist you 24 hours a day - seven days a week. You'll never have to deal with call-centres or pay expensive ‘out of hours’ charges. Instead, I provide simply stress free travel arrangements when you need them.

You’ll have the security of dealing with a highly reputable, global, award-winning company along with the added bonus of always speaking to me and nobody else. Also, any reservations made through me are covered by our own unique financial trust, which means that in the event of any supplier failure, you get your money back. No ifs, no buts! No other travel company can offer this to their clients.

I would be delighted to discuss how working me as part of Travel Counsellors will benefit your business.

I will absolutely be recommending Claire and her team and Travel Counsellors in general for their excellent service and expertise in handling a series of very complex and time pressured travel bookings on behalf of our corporate client. We have had complete confidence in Claire from our first introduction and she has been invaluable to us in the delivery of this event. She has proven herself to be an invaluable cog in the machine for the running of this event and we will absolutely be using her as our first port of call for all future travel bookings moving forward!

Struggled to find suitable flights and Claire easily found me several options and was very patient while I gain approval for my flights. Hotel option saved me having to look around for suitable hotels and was very pleased with the cost saving on this. Thanks again for the help.

If it were possible to give Claire Horne 10+ or 11 or even 9,999 I would do so. She is a total star.

Claire Horne is absolutely brilliant and 100% reliable. I always know if we have a problem when abroad she will sort it out.

Sent by Richard Drew

Excellent service from Claire as she provided a quick and easy 'start to finish service'. I was tasked with finding a flight and hotel at short notice and due to the amounts of deals on offer, it was a bit of a mine field as had never been to NYC before. Claire recommended a great hotel to meet my needs and the flights were very suitable. Thank you once again,

Sent by P Lelliott

Sent by Kate Tilston

We have been booking our own travel for a long time due to the nature of my husband's work but Claire has made the process even easier in what is already a busy life. I will be spreading the word to others definitely!

Sent by Guy Tilston

Claire is top notch at what she does - when I think of something to ask her to do such as seat preferences or check in she's already done it! Will book through Claire every chance I get - and I've Already recommended her to my colleagues! 1st class service!!! Thanks Claire

Claire is fantastically efficient and covers the options of cost and timetabling both quickly and at the best price. Claire also has a great personable style when putting the itinerary together.

Extremely helpful, quick and efficient. I was well looked after.

Sent by Lynne Dootson

After giving Claire an idea of the type of trip we were looking for, Claire found us the perfect hotel. The service I received was second to none, nothing seemed to phase Claire. Arranging a trip for 160 people was not without its problems, and I can honestly say that Claire dealt with all queries, changes etc. with efficiency and calmness, nothing was too much trouble, and I would definitely contact Claire for any future trips that I do.
