About Me
With fifteen years of experience in the travel industry - seven of which were spent selecting the best DMCs & hotels to work with as a Product Manager for some of the UK's best known travel brands.
This means I bring a unique perspective to the table as I understand what UK agents actually want, how they really think & the pressures they are under, this means I am able to tailor my approach so your business has the best chance to become established & grow.

Why choose Gobble to represent you ...
Having a rep can be scary, especially for smaller businesses because it is an investment & you often do not see what is happening, for the simple reason we are in different countries.
While doing my job for you, my role is to ensure that you are informed, & confident that you have made the right decision.
Gobble is a small busiess, this is a real strength, it also means I understand the importance of relationships remain strong.
Gobble has been running since 2024, though I have been a rep since 2019 as I co-owned another company before going solo.

Who is Gobble for ...
Gobble is not for everyone - I am happy to say that.
Gobble is not a 'yes, give me your money' company & we are not corporate - We work with people/companies who want to grow, have the right attitude, understand results take time & that this is a collaboration.
We work best with people who genuinely want to grow their business, where growth can make a real difference to them & their employees, & those that like to enjoy their work.
Together we can do great things!
Small, family run business
Gobble understands that smaller properties needs are very different to larger ones, as are budgets.
We love woking with smaller properties as the benefits Gobble can create are more meaningful & rewarding.
DMCs
A lot of rep companies do not like working with DMCs, this is because getting results is harder.
Gobble began life as a representation company specilising in DMCs, so knows how to represent them & what it takes to get results.
