Claire Metharam Head of Product
“For me the most magical place on earth is the Maldives, and I love these islands for many of the same reasons I also love being part of the Azure family.

Julie Crump Specialist Sales Consultant
“I love travelling and finding new destinations for Azure , and then putting together tailor made itineraries. No two people are the same so no two travel plans should ever be the same and it’s so satisfying to find the perfect holiday for each client.”
Zoe Dodd Specialist Sales Consultant
“I truly believe that travel is the key to happiness and even after 20 years, I am still discovering new destinations to explore. Travelling for me isn’t just about ticking off a bucket list; it’s about immersing myself in new cultures, experiencing local delicacies and discovering special places off the beaten track. I love nothing more than creating exciting itineraries for my clients that leave them with a lifetime of memories!”
Jessica Jones Specialist Sales Consultant
“Travel makes me realise how small the world is now. It’s all so accessible, and what I love most is meeting with locals and listening to their stories. It’s the best way to really get to know a place and I really like being able to share these insights with Azure’s clients.”
Paul Jones Specialist Sales Consultant
“I love discovering off the beaten track destinations and gathering plenty of first-hand experience which I can then share with clients and use to develop tailor made holidays that promise extraordinary experiences.”
Nina Lloyd Specialist Sales Consultant
“It’s so important to have special memories, and luxury holidays provide the perfect opportunity, so I feel very privileged to be able to help people to create these moments to treasure for the rest of their lives.”
