Chamber Member Richard Hoyle launches new business!
Whenever I told anyone I was becoming a Travel Counsellor they said it made sense due to my passion for travel and great service. I've been fortunate enough to have travelled extensively around the world, making memories with my wife Hayley and now with more recently with my young family, and now I want to bring that experience to you, my clients.
Travel Counsellors was established in 1994 and only last year was named ‘The Best Place to Work in Travel’ at the 2022 Travel Industry Awards.
We have a level of trust through all money being protected and backed up with supplier failure insurance, flight packages booked through retail tour operators are also covered by ATOL.
As I work from home I can speak to you at a time that suits you best or alternatively I can meet you in person to discuss your previous and future travel plans.
We’re a family business - my wife Hayley is also my assistant, she also owns and manages a bridal store in Harrogate called The Harrogate Wedding Lounge, and she has extensive travel experience having previously worked for over ten years in a high street travel agent.
My Five Favourite Travel Experiences:
Maui, Hawaii. We took our then ten month old for our tenth wedding anniversary.
Yosemite National Park. ''Takes your breath away'' is something I had heard all my life and didn't experience it fully till seeing the view of El Capitan.
Highway 1. I drove from San Francisco to Los Angeles in an automatic car having only passed my test four months before and never having driven an automatic till San Fran.
Malaysia. Honeymoon destination visiting the capital Kuala Lumpor and Langkawi a small island just off.
Greece, Halkidiki. Sani and Ikos resorts are a family favourite and many great memories have been made there.
My own personal travel tip? - Treat yourself to a private transfer to your holiday! Not only do you get to your hotel on arrival quicker you also get more time before the pick up to come home.
As a Travel Counsellor I'm truly independent. So I can choose from thousands of providers to give you the best choice of holidays rather than what I'm paid to sell.
