Thank you for visiting my Business Travel page
With over 22 years’ experience in the travel industry, I have managed corporate travel for numerous SME's through to large global companies, such as Microsoft, Astrazeneca, Kellogg and P&G.
Being a fully independent TMC (Travel Management Company) you, your staff and company in general will be in safe hands with me looking after you.
My aim is to ensure that, using all my skills attained in the travel industry I can save your company travel spend, not to mention all the stress and hassle, which goes along with trying to tiptoe through the minefield of booking it yourself.
With an award-winning MICE (Meetings, Incentive, Conference and Events) team behind me, these can be planned too, as they can be VERY tricky to manage on your own.
You'll never have to deal with call-centres or pay expensive ‘out of hours’ charges.
Instead, I personally provide simply stress-free travel arrangements, along with our 24/7 out of hours support centre, when you need them.
You’ll have the security of dealing with a global, UK Top 20 Travel Management company with £650m+ purchasing power.
Any reservations made through me are covered by our own unique Queens Award winning financial trust, which means that in case 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 help your business.

Seamless booking service, immaculately executed with care! If Lizzie was a song it would be 'simply the best' ... can't fault the booking process at any point, from start to finish it was superb. Photographer.
James Drew, London, 14 April 2020
Great, prompt, flexible and friendly service! Thank you.
Caroline Theobald OBE, Corbridge, 14 April 2020

I cannot recommend Lizzie enough, she stepped in to help me get back to the UK from Uganda in the midst of the new COVID-19 travel restrictions which had my head in a complete spin. Not only is Lizzie a fountain of travel knowledge, she is also filled with positivity and kindness which has transformed this process for me. Lizzie was able to guide me on the correct routes to take and to top it off, I’m now going to spend 10 days on a beautiful Greek island before reaching the UK. Thank you for everything Lizzie!

In October, Lizzie pulled out all her expertise & organising skills to plan a trip to leave in January. With 8 flights - 5 countries & a train journey from Perth to Sydney organised, we left UK end of January. You were our star as it also became apparent we were not doing the usual route either ..... but, who knew what was to unfold in this crazy world at that time. Lizzie you are now our very own super hero.. always a step ahead - whilst 4 flights in Lizzie had to reorganise our planned last flights from America to UK . However it then became apparent within hours that we really needed to scrap that & book a flight home from Australia rather quickly instead. World events overtook Best Laid Plans as the saying goes. Another saying 'Not All Heroes Wear Capes'. Thank you Lizzie you should be wearing a Very Large Cape and we owe you a large glass or more of something cold when this crazy world eases into a new normal.

I have had the pleasure of working with Lizzie for a few years now- and she is my absolute go-to travel guru. She has helped me with range of different and memorable trips, from a once in a lifetime holiday in Vietnam and Cambodia, to organising family trips to cornwall! Lizzie's customer service and attention to detail is second to none. She always manages to make me feel really special and cared for- throughout the whole process. She's always at the other end of the phone if you have any questions. On top of that, she really knows her stuff! I have had some of the most wonderful, stress free holidays- all thanks to this lady! And here's to many more!

Well what can I say... Lizzie was amazing from start to finish! She was so attentive, efficient and professional at all times. Nothing was too much trouble which made planning a company trip of 15 girls to Ibiza a breeze! I would absolutely recommend Lizzie to anyone (in fact I already have been!) and will definitely be using Lizzie's services again in the future. It's so true when they say that people buy from people - Lizzie is a shining example of this! Thank you so much again Lizzie.

My colleague and I were travelling to Cairo on business and I contacted Lizzie to enquire if she could help us with booking a hotel. She responded straightaway to discuss our requirements and then got back to me with itinerary, prices etc within a an hour or two. The booking process was hassle free and the hotel was fantastic. Lizzie’s dedication to customer service and attention to detail were brilliant and there was even a handwritten welcome home card in the mail from her when we got back.

I recently contacted Lizzie with a requirement for accommodation for a 3 day business trip. It wasn't a big spend (which I actually felt quite guilty about) but nevertheless, Lizzie was very keen to help me. All I gave her was some dates and a postcode and said 'please just do what you can.' I'd had a quick glance online as to what my options could be before I called. Within 10 minutes of speaking to Lizzie she'd beaten the likes of booking.com for price, upgraded me to a better room than I'd seen online in a better hotel and with all the facilities I needed. It wasn't so much the cost saving I was impressed with it was the unparalleled service I received and the peace of mind that someone else was just sorting it for me without trawling through websites and getting stressed. After I gave Lizzie confirmation, again, as quick as a flash I had an itinerary, booking confirmation and any number of helpful documents sent through to me with some personal notes. I can say without a doubt I will make any travel arrangements with Lizzie from now on and won't hesitate to tell everyone I know how truly awesome she is. Cheers Lizzie, you really made my day. SINCERE AND HEARTFELT THANKS - Morgan.

Lizzie recently helped me book some flights for a group of us. She searched the best deal with the best airline (still the same price as the not so good airline), she stayed up late to sort it out for us, she watched the flights before we actually booked them and truly went the extra mile. She has taken personal service to a whole new level and I can guarantee I won’t book another flight without her. Thank you so much I can not recommend you enough.

Nothing is too much trouble for Lizzie! I had a long and complex list of things to take to Africa to make a family Christmas - and she contacted the airline to check that they could all be carried safely, and wouldn't cause a problem at customs! It took a very big anxiety away. It was wonderful! So reassuring to feel in really safe hands! She also won't try and upsell you things you can easily do yourself!

I needed to sort out hotels in Japan at very short notice and with very specific requirements. Lizzie was not at all phased and got everything sorted out for me even getting up through the night to secure rooms when everything was booked and we had to find cancellations. Her advice was spot on and I felt very secure throughout the experience. She also provided great advice on travelling around and sorted out train tickets. I would definitely recommend Lizzie and will be using her again.

I just wanted to say thank you for your honest approach in doing business. After experiencing a travel advisor before, I was a bit hesitant in trying again, but I have been delighted with your expertise and honesty in helping me find good hotel deals. You gave me advice on the best places to eat and gave ideas about what to do on an evening when I was in a city during a trade show. Unlike previous shows, I was able to go out and enjoy local highlights. I would happily recommend your services to anyone and for the next holiday I want to book I will make sure I contact you first.

I have always shied away from booking holidays and let my better half deal with it as I really couldn't face endless brochures or websites and travel blogs. I would rather spend my time working than dealing with that hell. However I am trying to man up and deal with things I would usually avoid. Enter the Travel Counsellors. I gave them some dates over the phone and received an email with the best prices and airports to travel from. I said I would think about it and 2 weeks later I phoned up and said the dates have changed. That day I had a new set of prices and times. That night I had my flights booked and some great advice on travel from Lizzie. I now have a great resource to fall back on and take care of my family and I whilst we are half way round the world. Thank you Lizzie for making my life a tad easier.

As a regular business traveller to the Middle East, I was introduced to Lizzie fairly recently. Many of my itineraries are complex by nature, with numerous long-haul and internal flights to consider. To do this as an individual takes time and numerous calls and emails. I was looking for an agent who would take the strain and alleviate the hassle factor. In Lizzie I have found such an agent – one email to Lizzie and the whole itinerary was arranged – at a very competitive price. Throughout my time working with her I have received speedy and professional travel information, and I have total confidence in her to look after all my travel needs. On my last trip, the international carrier cancelled one of my flights which would have caused me significant issues if I’d not had a fantastic agent to call upon. One call, and the problem was solved. Many companies profess to ‘go the extra mile’ yet don’t live up to their billing. I can whole heartedly endorse Lizzie who does go the extra mile and make the clients life all the easier."
