Business Travel Careers

Sallie Rudman - Business Travel Counsellor, Oxford

“After 20 years in business travel and a five year career break to spend time with my three children I was desperate to get back into the industry that I loved.”

“One of my best friends was already a successful Travel Counsellor and said I should take a look and find out more. I watched one of the recruitment webcasts and was completely blown away. From that moment it was like a switch had been flicked and I knew that it was something that I had to be part of.”

“Because I had been out of the industry for 5 years I started with absolutely no clients - only a list of friends who I thought might give me a foot in the door. One friend was PA to a very successful businessman who agreed to meet me. One successful meeting later and I came away with his travel business under my belt. He has been incredibly helpful to me as he has gone on to refer me to many of his associates which has led to more and more business as they in their turn have referred me too.”

“After just one year and one day I was delighted to be awarded Gold Travel Counsellor status which was more than I could ever have hoped for. My earnings are more than double what they were before when I was running a busy business travel centre and having to manage 20 staff. Now I only have to manage myself which isn’t nearly so tricky! I wish I’d discovered Travel Counsellors a long time ago.”
