Meet the Personal Travel Consultants.
Lynne Walton
I have worked in the travel industry for over 25 years. I take immense pride in my job and enjoy the challenges of finding the best possible travel options for my customers. Whether you are thinking of a family beach holiday, city break, cruise holiday or an exotic adventure, it’s my job to find the holiday that is perfect for you. I have been very lucky during my travel career to travel to lots of destinations including many Caribbean islands, USA, the Far East and many European countries. I have travelled extensively to Greece and her beautiful islands and love to share my first-hand knowledge with my customers.
Paula Coull
I love my life in travel and can’t believe it's been 35 years since I began in the industry, they have passed by in a heartbeat! I have been really lucky to have visited many incredible and culturally rich places including Sri Lanka. My personal highlights included the temple of the tooth and the elephants and tiger sanctuary. I have so many fantastic memories of my travels throughout the years, including my 2nd home of Barbados where I was lucky enough to live for 4 years. I feel lucky and blessed to have experienced all these wonderful places and hope my experience can help you in booking your dream holiday.
Polly Gould
I have been in the Travel Industry for over 30 years, straight from school. After a few family holidays to Florida as a teenager where I learnt to water-ski, I thought it was the most amazing place to watch the professional water-skiers at Sea World. I said to my parents I want to live abroad and be a water-skier! My father said if you want to work abroad, how about a career in the Travel Industry? I am still water-skiing however have not moved to sunnier climates yet. For the last 20 years, I have specialised in selling Barbados & the Caribbean, and with Blue Bay Travel's fantastic exclusive offers to sell, I jumped at the chance to be a homeworker with them.
Sarah-Jane Brooks
I have been working in Travel for over 20 years and I am very passionate about what I do and love making dreams come true. I love to travel myself and share my experiences and knowledge with everyone. My job is very rewarding and many of my customers over the years are now also good friends of mine too thanks to the holiday experiences we have shared.
Jaclyn Keighley
I began my career in travel over 25 years ago and spent 10 years working in Spain, the Dominican Republic and India before returning to the UK. Since I was very young all I have ever wanted to do was travel, and I still love the thrill of visiting any country for the first time. I think travel gets into your blood so helping others put together their ideal holiday is a pleasure.
Sharon Ash
I love working in travel for so many different reasons. I get a real buzz from searching for different options for clients ensuring the holiday they are booking is just right for them. I see every inquiry as a challenge and love giving each one the attention it deserves, no matter where they are looking to travel to. It is a fun and fulfilling role that I don't really see as a job.
Lisa Steenson
Every day is different and I love sharing my holiday experiences, as well as listening to those of my clients.
Best holiday: Grenada – the people are the most welcoming and polite and the chocolate is the finest in the world! Plus, Grand Anse is the best beach I have ever visited.
Carly Cockburn
I have worked in various roles throughout the Travel Industry for 16 years and my experience in all of those roles has led me to be able to make recommendations for all types of travellers looking to travel all over the world.
I have two young children so our current holidays consist of a lot of adventure but we always make sure we squeeze some downtime in. So if you’re looking for a solo trip, a group trip, a honeymoon or a big family holiday, I’ve done them all and am confident that I can help arrange yours.
Fun fact: I’ve completed two of the world’s most amazing hiking trails – Everest Base Camp in Nepal and the Inca Trail in Peru!

I've been in the travel industry for 27 years and no two days are the same. The excitement of finding that perfect holiday for a customer is great. I love to see the world and my holidays have evolved over the years.

Travelling is my hobby and passion. In addition, I love enabling others to fulfil their travel dreams, while allowing them to discover destinations they've always fantasised about, it makes me so happy. I love my job.

Leighton Glover
I joined Blue Bay Travel in 2006, having previously worked as a Manager for a large supermarket chain. I was lucky enough to spend my first week with Blue Bay in Mexico on a trip that involved the entire team visiting over 30 hotels in 7 days. I have worked my way through the business and I am now a Personal Travel Consultant. I am passionate about Travel and my strengths lie in asking the right questions to be able to get you to the perfect holiday.
Amy Boon
I love working in travel as I love nothing more than putting together the perfect holiday for someone before hearing all about it upon their return!
I decided to join Personal Travel Consultants by Blue Bay Travel as it gives me the flexibility to access a wide range of suppliers. This means I’m able to find my customers the perfect package. Whether that be a round-the-world cruise, a trip to the Med, or even a hotel in the Lake District.
Victoria McLaren
I've been in travel for nearly 10 years. Before going solo as a Personal Travel Consultant, I worked in local high-street stores. My passion is travelling. I have the nickname, Judith Chalmers. I am lucky enough to have experienced visiting so many places over the years and continue to add to that bucket list. I absolutely love helping others do the same. Each year I ensure I visit at least one new destination. I have also been lucky enough to live overseas in a few places, including near ski resorts, and I plan to be back living overseas permanently by the end of 2024.
Dream Holiday: I would love to visit Nashville, New Orleans and Memphis. I absolutely love a bit of country and blues music!
Lauren Hall
I have had the pleasure of being in the travel industry for over 18 years and have been lucky enough to travel over the world. From backpacking to staying in 5* resorts. Travelling and seeing wonderful destinations was always a dream of mine - they are all unique in their own way. My favourite must be the Maldives and Seychelles, followed by Thailand, but Europe also has a special place in my heart.
Fun Fact: I skydived in New Zealand, which was incredible, and I would recommend it to anyone.
Rebecca Bagnoli
Travelling is my passion, and I get such a buzz out of helping people plan their dream holidays and adventures. I have been lucky enough to travel to many incredible countries, both when I was younger and, in recent years, with my own family. I love that I can use this knowledge to help clients plan their travels to a wide range of destinations. I treat every enquiry as if it is my own trip and take pride in getting to know what my clients want, which in turn means I can plan the best possible itinerary for them.
Hidden Talent: I can play the piano.

Hi, I'm Kerry. I've been in travel for 31 years and specialise in Australia and Cruise. Having visited all the main Australian tourist hot spots, I can offer you my first-hand recommendations and experience. Cruise is my passion. As a Cruise Specialist, there's not much I don't know about cruise holidays. I love being able to make my client's dreams come true.
Clare Lake
I love my role as a Personal Travel Consultant, helping to create dream destinations and make them a reality for my customers. I specialise in Honeymoons, so whether my customers are looking for a Caribbean island to island hopping in Greece or a few nights in the UK. I can create a truly personal and magical adventure tailor-made for you. I've recently won the Best Newcomer Award with Blue Bay Travel, as voted by my colleagues, which means the world to me.
Fun fact: I once sang with Jules Holland at a music event when I was in my early twenties.

Giving the best personal customer service is so rewarding. I understand how important it is to find the right holiday & I love the excitement booking a holiday creates. I love working with Personal Travel Consultants as I have access to amazing offers and suppliers.
Sarah Doherty
After a 21-year career in aviation safety, I decided to become a self-employed travel agent in 2018, and I haven’t looked back! I’ve travelled quite a lot on business and enjoyed a variety of holidays, but my favourites usually involve wildlife, with Kenya and Borneo being among them. I’m also partial to a cruise - I pride myself on being an Ambassador with the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). I’m in my element putting together itineraries, and I love the challenge of finding the right holiday for you. I look after all of my clients as if they were family and invest a part of myself in every holiday I book. With me, it’s personal.
Fun fact: In my free time, I sing in an 8-part vocal harmony group based in Eastbourne.
