Holidays are back and we're here to help!

While travel was on hold we've upgraded our service to get you the help you need in lightning-quick time. We're back and faster than ever. Our team is ready to help in any way we can - the easiest way to reach us is by live chat (check our opening times). Or if something has gone wrong and you'd like to give us some feedback, get in touch with our dedicated customer team and we'll look into it for you.

We've worked hard on our flexibility and introduced FLEXTRAS - if you buy your holiday extras from Holiday Extras, you'll be getting the most flexible terms anywhere. We're also investing heavily in our app with a big focus on HEHA! - The Holiday Extras Holiday Assistant which makes it even easier and even faster to search, book and save.

You're welcome to email me about anything at all - ideas, suggestions and feedback. I read every email and will make sure your query is swiftly actioned with the right people. If needed I'll follow up in person too.

Thanks for choosing Holiday Extras. Wishing you safe and happy travels.

My journey so far

I worked as a design engineer and product manager in my early career before moving into general management. In my executive career I was CEO of Aircom International, a UK based global software and services company, and Corporate Vice President of Motorola Inc. both serving the mobile communications industry. Over the last 25 years I have defined winning strategies in mobile telecoms and high growth technology markets, leading companies ranging from £50 million sales to over $1 billion.

I have Chaired three privately backed companies to successful exits, including Skyscanner, the travel comparison site sold for £1.4 billion. Currently I am Chair of Origami Energy and CTRLio and SID at FTSE quoted printing technology business Xaar PLC.

In 2015 I was listed as one of the 100 most influential women shaping tech innovation.


Life outside Holiday Extras

I enjoy playing golf, travelling to learn about new places and time with my family, including two boys who have now left home for London.


What's your perfect holiday?

Somewhere in the sun with all the family where I can play a couple of rounds of golf and relax.
