Gillian McLornan previously Group Director of Sales - Jumeirah Group said "I've worked in the travel industry my entire career. Travel is my passion it's what inspires me. My background is in luxury hospitality and I was working for a large travel company when I heard about a new company that was moving into the market Travel Counsellors. The company was getting lots of coverage in the press and was creating a real stir in the industry. I followed its launch in the travel trade press and was incredibly excited with everything I read. To me, Travel Counsellors presented a fantastic opportunity, and most of all a unique one. There is no other travel home working company in Dubai and the business model really appealed to me. It offered a unique flexible working opportunity in our industry."

Roni Vargas previously Assistant Director of Sales at Yas Viceroy launched her Travel Counsellors business in 2017 "I had been in hospitality sales for 8 years and always wanted to run my own travel business. One day I discovered travel counsellors and the business set up fits me perfectly. I love the fact that while I run my own business I get all the support that I need to properly service my customers, and of course, make my business profitable. There's no huge business capital, you manage your own time, you meet a lot of fantastic people, experience different destinations and I can work everywhere I want - this is the coolest job ever!"
