Paula Mottram
Designer Travel Expert
Since March 2023
With over 15 years’ experience in the travel industry, my journey began as an apprentice with Travelcare in 1999, building a strong foundation in creating exceptional holiday experiences. Over the past three years, with Designer Travel I’ve grown a wonderful, loyal client base, supported by consistent five-star reviews and a reputation for delivering a truly personal, high-quality service, I’ve maintained a diamond award status for my contributions to the business and I am a finalist in the TYG Top 50 awards for customer service champion
As a mum of five and a proud grandma of two, I understand first-hand the importance of getting family travel just right especially when it comes to larger, multi-generational holidays. I specialise in crafting seamless, luxury family escapes that balance relaxation, style, and unforgettable experiences for everyone.
Cruising is a true passion of mine, along with the stunning destinations of the UAE, and I love sharing my knowledge to create tailor-made holidays that go beyond expectations. From the first conversation through to your return home, my focus is on delivering a smooth, stress-free experience with every detail thoughtfully taken care of.
