I work as part of a small ski team to create bespoke itineraries and operate high volumes of concurrent tailor-made ski and educational tours in Europe for school groups. Liaising with customers, suppliers and partners to ensure accurate reservations and travel, and enjoyable and cost-effective trips according to customers’ educational and budgetary requirements.

I have helped to organise rep recruitment events and attended careers fairs to show where a degree in languages or a career in the travel industry can take people.
