I am a stickler for detail. Some may even call me pedantic which may sound a bit dull but the devil is in the detail when organising travel for clients in the film and TV industries. Supporting the entertainment industry is a niche part of the travel industry and involves lots of logistics which is great for me because I love logistics!I gain a real sense of satisfaction in knowing that all my clients got to their location on time without fuss and were on-site to do their jobs and once wrapped, I got them all home again. Them and all their luggage.I've seen the travel industry from many sides having worked in travel agencies, for airlines and tour operators and when I'm not working, I'm helping my husband run our award winning Bed & Breakfast. So in actual fact, when I'm not working.... I'm still working.Not surprisingly I love a holiday! In fact, travelling brings out the best in me which is why I got into the travel industry in the first place, nearly 26 years ago. Over a quarter of a century of experience is a lot to bring to a job and I'm delighted to share those skills with my employer and colleagues.Skills:- Strong focus on understanding my customer’s individual needs. - Supportive of busy producers with reliable logistical help, making sure they meet tight timelines and budgets.- Passionate about finding the best travel solutions for my clients.- Highly motivated.- Innovative and professional with an upbeat attitude.- Ability to remain calm and level-headed under pressure.- Great attention to detail.- Ability to prioritise and cope with last-minute changes.- Strong sales focus.- Accounting skills as Treasurer of the Dover and South Action Group and back-office manager of Ashdowns of Dover Bed & Breakfast.- Event organising skills as evinced in the successful Dover Seafest.- Grant and Award Submission writing skills.- Print and Social Media marketing skills for Ashdowns of Dover Bed & Breakfast. - Sound administrative and organisational skills, experienced in Microsoft Word, Excel & Outlook.- Experience in Sabre and Galileo GDS, Sabre Agency Manager and Tramada back office systems.
