Bev Pidgeon
Bev Pidgeon is a highly experienced Personal Trainer who specialises in post-partum exercise and lower-limb injury recovery, with an impressive 15 years in the health and fitness industry. She’s passionate about helping people rebuild strength, confidence and resilience – especially mums navigating life after having children.
A fiercely independent business owner, Bev works closely with her husband across several health and fitness ventures, while also being mum to three energetic boys aged between 2 and 8. Before children, she was clocking up 45–50 hours a week of in-person PT – something any parent knows just isn’t realistic once family life takes centre stage!
She’s still incredibly successful, but like so many working mums, Bev constantly balances the pull between unsociable hours and precious time with her boys. Building her PT business further would mean more evenings and weekends away – and that’s where the daily juggle really comes in.
Growing up, travel opportunities were limited, so Bev and her husband made a conscious decision that their children would experience more of the world. Exploring new places, cultures and ways of life is hugely important to them, and something they’re passionate about sharing as a family.
This travel business has given Bev the flexibility she needed – something she can build from home, in pockets of time, without sacrificing even more family moments. Access to industry rates has already made family travel far more achievable, and she’s completely fallen in love with the business itself.
Now, Bev gets huge enjoyment from sharing the platform with others, opening their eyes to the savings, freedom and opportunities it offers – and helping families make incredible memories along the way.

Rachel Stainforth
Rachel Stainforth is a renowned Holistic Wellness Practitioner who has joined the travel business to elevate her own experiences and to consciously ride the growing wellness travel wave.
With wellness tourism predicted to become a $1.4 trillion industry by 2027, her timing and vision couldn’t be better.
She has spent her career helping people restore balance, confidence and wellbeing through her holistic health and beauty practice, specialising in advanced skin analysis, beauty treatments and therapeutic nervous system reset techniques. For Rachel, wellness isn’t just a service – it’s a way of life, and travel has always been a natural extension of that philosophy.
Her love of travel began in childhood, where she was fortunate to explore extensively and quickly became the one eagerly buying a Lonely Planet guide for every trip. As soon as online booking became available in the 80s, Rachel was organising her own adventures long before it was the norm. To her, travel has always symbolised exploration, learning and joy – values that sit at the very heart of her work today.
Joining the travel business was a purposeful and intentional decision. With wellness tourism now one of the fastest-growing sectors worldwide, Rachel saw the perfect opportunity to blend her passions. As she says, “Travel and wellness go hand in hand. People aren’t just looking for a getaway anymore – they want experiences that restore, inspire and transform.”
Her motivation also comes from a deeply personal place. After losing her mum at just 66, Rachel realised she didn’t want to wait for retirement to live out her dreams. Inspired by the adventures her mum never got the chance to take, she is passionate about helping herself – and others – experience life fully, now.
Today, Rachel brings her unique wellbeing perspective to the travel business, focusing on restorative, enriching and deeply memorable experiences, all backed by holistic wellness science.

Reena Rai
Reena Rai is a busy, self-employed mortgage broker with a genuine love for travel, particularly luxury getaways and beautifully curated holidays. Known for her impeccable travel style and sensational holiday wardrobe, she is always planning her next escape and making the most of every trip.
She joined the travel business for one simple, practical reason: to access the savings and benefits available to qualified Independent Travel Agents. Reena was not looking for a new business venture, but she recognised the value in qualifying, gaining her IATA licence and unlocking industry insider rates across every type of holiday imaginable.
Now a fully qualified Independent Travel Agent, Reena has access to exclusive agent-only pricing, upgrades and travel perks, and she earns commission back on her own travel rather than handing it to third-party agents or online booking sites. It has completely transformed the way she books and experiences travel.
For Reena, this is about travelling smarter, upgrading her experiences and making her holiday budget work harder, all while continuing to focus on her successful mortgage business. As she looks ahead to planning her family’s future holidays, the benefits of being an Independent Travel Agent are already paying off.
Reena’s journey is a great example of how accessible this opportunity can be, and how seamlessly it can fit alongside an existing career, while elevating travel to a whole new level.

Rachael Dean
Rachael Dean is a National Marketing Manager for a UK-based communications agency. As a proud “Boujie Backpacker” qualifying as an Independent Travel Agent just made sense.
Her love of travel has been a defining part of her life for as long as she can remember. For her, travel has never been just a dream – it’s always felt like a certainty.
After graduating, Rachael built a successful career in marketing and PR, including setting up a Leeds-based office and team for a national agency. But her adventurous spirit called for something bigger. She booked a one-way ticket to Thailand, kicking off three years of exploring the beauty, culture, and chaos of Asia.
Rachael’s approach to travel has always been anything but typical. She embraces what she lovingly calls her “boujie backpacker” era, seeking out the best beach clubs, boutique stays, incredible restaurants, and unforgettable cocktails wherever she goes. For her, travel isn’t about scraping by – it’s about living fully, joyfully, and intentionally, no matter where in the world she finds herself.
Now settled in Sydney, Rachael balances remote marketing work with a beachside café side hustle, all while staying active and soaking up the true Aussie lifestyle. Becoming a travel agent felt like the natural next step – allowing her to combine her experience, creativity, and passion for travel to help others plan trips that are exciting, elevated, and completely personalised.
Whether you’re a backpacker at heart, a lover of luxury, or somewhere beautifully in between, Rachael brings her unique perspective to every journey she helps design. After all, if she can turn a one-way ticket into a whole new life, imagine what your next adventure could become.

She is the one who keeps everything and everyone running smoothly, gets things done, and has a colour-coded plan for just about everything. Organising isn’t just a skill, it’s her superpower.
When she’s not making work life tick, Helen is planning her next escape. She loves weekends away, holidays in the sun, and anything that involves switching off with a great view and an even better hotel. She shares life with her partner Mike, who has a serious appreciation for luxury holidays and beautiful hotels, and she is more than happy to help with the “research.”
Helen is also mum to a 16-year-old son who is currently at college, so she fully understands the value of a well-timed break.
Helen joined the travel business to save money on holidays and short breaks for her and her family, and to get exclusive access to industry rates. It’s already paying off; on her latest trip to Dublin she even scored a room upgrade, confirming that she was definitely onto something. Now she combines her love of travel with her organisation skills and eye for detail, helping others enjoy seamless, stress-free trips with a few extra perks along the way.
If there’s a plan to be made, she’s already three steps ahead and probably booking the sunniest option.

Dave Counsell has a background in engineering, and he has worked in his current role, specialising in property claims related to fire, flood, and other incidents, for the past 25 years.
Dave was ready to establish a second income that could run alongside his day job. Being passionate about travel and helping others, joining this business was a fantastic opportunity for him to purse something new.
Dave’s favourite destinations include the Greek islands, where he loves the friendly people, delicious food, and endless opportunities to explore. His idea of the perfect start to a holiday is a window seat on the plane, where he can take in the views when the plane is coming in to land!
When he wants a true escape, Dave jumps on his motorbike and travels around Europe, combining adventure with freedom.
Every day is different in Dave’s day job, and he brings the same careful attention to detail from his career into planning trips for others. Before his current role, he worked in air conditioning and refrigeration installation.
Family is central to Dave’s life. He is a proud dad to two boys, 20-year-old Harvey, a personal trainer and former Leicester Tigers rugby player, and 13-year-old Ted, who is starting to make his mark in motocross.
