The story so far
Experience that began long before Fairclough Travel.
My career in travel began in 2006 after I bought property in Turkey and built a tourism business that attracted local and national press. Following a successful chapter in the corporate world, I returned to the industry and founded Fairclough Travel in 2023.
I wanted to give customers expert advice, save them hours of research and help them collect memories that matter. Today, that means listening carefully, asking better questions and finding the holiday that feels right for the person travelling.
“You should feel confident about your holiday before you have even packed a case.”
