Nicole Edgar is part of TravelManagers Australia, a network of travel specialists, who have been selected from amongst the best in the industry, to provide you with a personalised travel agency service, when and where you need it. It quickly made sense to make a career out of something you enjoy – travelling, and gaining the education and personal growth that comes along with visiting different places, experiencing different cultures, and meeting people from all walks of life, all over the world. And what a positive and great job to do – creating, planning and selling people’s dream holidays! My career in the exciting travel industry, began in 1992, when I studied at Jetset Travel Training College, Melbourne, and achieved my Diploma in Travel – in both International and Domestic. My first position was working for Greyhound/Pioneer coaches, at their Franklin Street, Melbourne coach terminal. Then my 10+ years of travel agency experience began a few years later, initially starting out as a Domestic travel consultant, and working my way up to International travel consulting, plus Assistant Manager and Senior Sales Consultant’s roles. It was during this time, that I was nominated for the prestigious travel industry award, the Avis Travel Agent’s Scholarship of Excellence (in Customer Service), in 1999. Voted on by highly respected travel industry peers and reputable judges, I took out the Victorian title, and was an Australian finalist. I’ve has also won numerous “top seller” awards with various wholesalers, which sell a diverse range of products, to different target markets, of varying interests and ages, such as retirees, families, schoolies, adventure travellers, solo travellers, couples, students etc. Having travelled extensively to 30+ countries to date, and around most of Australia, I pride myself on my great geographical product knowledge, customer service and rapport that I have steadily built up with my clients, many of whom are now repeat clients and have become good friends over the years. I like to ensure that your stress is taken away – not just whilst you are on holiday, but throughout the whole planning process of your travel arrangements, from the first quote, to the day you return home after your memorable trip. I create and organise all of your travel arrangements with enthusiasm – as if it were my own holiday I am in the process of planning. So on that note, it’s suffice to say that I look forward to the next phase and chapter of my life: travelling more, but this time with my family; continuing to build up a successful business with TravelManagers; and relishing the opportunity to be of help, providing advice and great customer service to you, when you next wish to plan your travel arrangements! Just remember this: I’d love to tell you where to go! PLACES I’VE TRAVELLED TO:
