Women In Business: Sinéad Lonergan - Travel Counsellors

I began my journey as a Travel Counsellor in 2015, having spent my entire career in the hospitality industry – as a wedding coordinator, in corporate sales – and I also spent 10 years working onboard a cruise liner as guest services manager. My love for travel; my focus on what my customers want, deserve and expect, as well as the level of customer service I afford my clients made becoming a Travel Counsellor a perfect fit for me.

The jump to leaving salaried employment into the great unknown of self-employment was made all the more easier through the support of my family and friends, and the knowledge that I had a fantastic support system through the Travel Counsellors franchise network. I deal with all foreign travel arrangements – but specialise in long haul multi destination trips and cruises.

All my holidays are tailor made to my clients’ needs and I offer follow-up support right up to the point that they are safely back home again – rejuvenated, relaxed and excited to start looking forward to their next foreign adventure.

My secret – I treat every holiday as if it were my own!

Customer testimonial: ‘Once you speak with Sinéad, you will feel in safe hands and once you’ve travelled on one of the holidays that she has organised, you will never book with anyone else. Sinéad has wonderful way with people and her attention to detail is impeccable.’ – Begley family.
