CHRIS CHRISTENSEN

Manager at First and Business Angel

Having been in the travel industry for over 9 years and having visited nearly 70 counties I have a wealth of experience and I pride myself on the relationships I build with each of my clients and truly understand that everyone has different needs when they travel. I treat each trip with the same care and attention to detail as if it were my own.

MAX CHERRILL

Manager at First and Business Baker Street

I have been with Flight Centre First & Business for just over 5 years now. I’d always confidently recommend First and Business because our customers are guaranteed to have the pleasure of working with an industry expert to help build their ideal package. Whether it’s a safari in Africa, a North and South island road trip in New Zealand, or if you want to read a book with a few cocktails in the Indian Ocean, you can rest assured that you came to the right place.

AMY FROST

Manager at First and Business Bristol

I have been a member of the First and Business team for over 10 years. Within this time I have been lucky enough to travel all over the world, from Australia to Asia, South America to the Middle East and more. Throughout these travels, I’ve also experienced a huge range of airlines and can offer first hand advice on travel with Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines, Emirates and more.

GREG STEWART-ROSE

Manager at First and Business Bromley

I have over 7 years’ experience within the travel industry and have travelled extensively in The Caribbean and South East Asia. As a New Zealander by birth, I have naturally spend a lot of time in New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands. Being an expat means that have the benefit of first-hand knowledge with most major carriers, having travelled with Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Singapore Airline and Air New Zealand. Transited in these airlines’ major hubs helps me suggest interesting and exciting things for you to do in these fantastic cities, whether it be for a few nights or a few hours.

NATHALIE ADAMS

Manager at First and Business Clapham

LUCIE BOREHAM

Manager at First and Business High Street Kensington 1

I have worked in the industry for over 16 years beginning as an Emirates cabin crew member. In addition to airline knowledge, I think the biggest advantage of booking with First and Business is our 24/7 emergency support service. I worked in our out of hours team during the 2010 ash cloud disruption and all I can say is, I felt sorry for the travellers that didn’t book with us.

JAMES HOWE

Manager at First and Business High Street Kensington 2

I have worked for Flight Centre for eleven years and within the First & Business team for eight of those. I’ve been lucky enough to experience a lot of the product we sell so I can make recommendations from my personal experience. I’ve travelled extensively in Australia, Asia & Africa and still have a passion for travel. Whatever your reason for travel you are in the safest hands with Flight Centre First & Business.

RACHEL FINNEY

Manager at First and Business Manchester Piccadilly

I began my career in the travel industry 14 years ago and haven’t looked back. When I joined First and Business three years ago I achieved a store personal best in my first month. I think the most important thing for our customers to know is that we are not biased in our service. We book all airlines and can also take care of meal and seat requests as well as your accommodation and transfers.

LEANNE RUDD

Manager at First and Business Manchester Deansgate

PHIL BURDEKIN

Manager at First and Business New Malden

I have been with First and Business for over four years and have worked in the travel industry for over 14 years. My areas of expertise would be travel to Australia and New Zealand, and airlines such as British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, Etihad and Qantas. With Etihad for example, if you’re travelling with a partner, always book seat letters E and F as they are the best seats for couples. That’s just an example of the kind of service we can offer.
