Booking a family holiday can be an overwhelming and time-consuming experience. If you’re looking to take the stress out of it then local mum, Gaynor Pickard can help! Having worked in the travel industry for over 32 years she has all the experience and contacts to make your next holiday the best yet!
I’m Gaynor Pickard and I am a local mum to an eight year old son called Seth. Like you I use and love North Leeds Mumbler, I think it’s a brilliant resource that just keeps getting better and better
As well as being mum to Seth, I’m also a highly experienced Travel Agent and Bespoke Luxury Travel Planner to private families, executives and companies across Yorkshire and further afield.
I’ve worked in travel and tourism industry for over 32 years, so, I think it’s safe to say I’ve gained a 360 degree knowledge of the industry as I’ve tried my hand at just about everything. I’ve been a Luxury Travel Agent, a Specialist Tour Operator, Operation’s Director for a Sports/Group Travel Company, Director of Sales within Luxury Hotels, Tea Maker, Brochure Stamper and everything in between.
My clients are just like you. They are time precious, savvy travellers who actively seek brilliant travel brands, exceptional value and service as well as fresh, useful advice and tips to greatly enhance their travel arrangements.
I understand the challenges that parents face when it comes to sourcing travel and holidays, it’s an absolute minefield. Travel brochures have now been replaced by beautiful websites with endless pages of superlative photographs and descriptive text that can often make the most basic of hotels look appealing. On top of that there are the countless review sites and third party booking sites all vying for your attention.
It’s my job to help you cut through all of the above and assist you in achieving the holiday you deserve. My aim is to do this efficiently, knowledgeably and within budget.
My service is completely independent of any association so am able to book any hotel, tour operator or tourism service. I work tenaciously to ensure that every holiday & travel itinerary is expertly sourced, tightly costed and meticulously coordinated. It’s my business to know what’s hot and what’s not and go the extra mile to find out what makes you tick and what turns you off.
I can guide you towards hotels and destinations that many high street travel agencies would not have access to and possibly would not know about. And, if there are any mums and dads out there who have children with special needs then I am the lady to assist you in making the best holiday choices for your entire family group.
I am always only a phone call away to deal with any travel curve balls that get thrown my clients way (let’s face it, these situations occur) and everyone gets VIP’D (because you can’t really VIP yourself)
You will find my service to be extraordinary yet friendly and always discreet. This is what some of my previous customers had to say;
“We really felt comfortable with Gaynor, her recommendations were spot on. She helped create an amazing special birthday trip for myself and my family. We would recommend her service to anyone”
“Gaynor answered all of our questions and gave us advice and guidance that we would simply not have uncovered on our own. She worked tirelessly to make sure our holiday was just what we needed and at a great price too. I’d happily recommend her service.”
