Heidi Phillips
Designer Travel Expert
Since October 2018
Hi, I’m Heidi, and I live in Bromborough on the Wirral.
Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My career in the travel industry began back in 1988, when I joined Pickfords Travel as a YTS trainee. From there, I went on to work with Going Places and later Co-op Travelcare, gaining experience across stores in Birkenhead, Ellesmere Port, and Heswall.
Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to experience some truly unforgettable holidays. Highlights include motor-homing through the Canadian Rockies, sailing the Ionian Islands in Greece, a houseboat adventure on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe, exploring Dubai, and touring New Zealand and Bali. I’ve now visited over 58 countries—including Wales, where we have a caravan in Abersoch, I‘ve also recently bought myself a VW Campervan and hoping to use this as my Mobile office up and down the country.
I also love baking sour dough bread , paddleboarding is my new hobby and photography.
What About You?
Everyone’s idea of the perfect holiday is different—and that’s where I come in.
When you ask me for a quote, the more information you give me, the better. As we chat, I get to know you, your preferences, and any special requirements. Over time, I become your personal travel agent, creating holidays that are truly tailored to you.
Why Book With a Travel Agent?
✔ I save you time by handling all the planning
✔ I don’t just look for the cheapest deal—I find the best value holiday for you
✔ I’m here when you need me, whether that’s 7am or 11pm
✔ If flights change, issues arise, or support is needed, I deal with it for you
✔ You’ll always deal directly with me (unless my Designer Travel buddy is covering while I’m away)
✔ I never take your business for granted and always give 100% care and attention
I offer far more than an online booking site—I care about your holiday as much as you do.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read.
