Shirley McManus

Hi, I’m Shirley, and travel isn’t just my job — it’s been my passion for over 30 years.

I started my journey in the travel industry as a young apprentice straight from leaving school, and from that very first day I knew I’d found my calling. What began as a dream has grown into a lifelong career, and in 2019 I was incredibly proud to launch my own successful travel business, backed by the award-winning team at Designer Travel.

I’m married with two wonderful grown-up children, and over the years we’ve been lucky enough to create so many amazing memories together through travel — something I now love helping my clients do too.

I truly adore booking holidays and getting to know my clients, so I can help find the perfect trip for them. Whether it’s a relaxing beach escape, a fun-filled family adventure, or a special once-in-a-lifetime celebration, nothing makes me happier than matching people with the holiday that feels just right.

My own travels have taken me far and wide. Across Europe, I’ve explored many beautiful destinations both as a family and as a couple — especially the Greek islands, with Skiathos and Kefalonia holding a special place in my heart, along with Koutouloufari in Crete.

Further afield, I’ve experienced unforgettable trips to the Maldives, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Antigua and Mauritius, plus magical family adventures in Orlando, soaking up the fun of Disney and Universal. I’ve also enjoyed several Mediterranean cruises, both as a couple and with the family.

From luxury all-inclusive resorts to relaxed self-catering stays, I’ve stayed in and experienced a wide range of properties across Europe and around the world — giving me real, first-hand knowledge I love sharing with my clients.

If you’re dreaming of your next getaway, I’d love to help turn it into reality.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. ✨✈️
