Hello and thank you for looking at my profile. My name is James, and I moved from London to leafy Buckinghamshire 7 years ago, with my wife and boys aged 7 and 5. We are loving the immediate access to the beautiful Chilterns, and the ability to jump in the car and drive somewhere without city traffic congestion!
I have over 25 years experience in the travel industry, and have worked for a large global travel management company looking after one of their largest corporate accounts, as well as looking after a variety of SME clients in industries as diverse as copper mining, media, asset management and security/personal protection.
I am passionate about giving the highest level of personalised service and independent travel advice to my corporate clients, and using my experience in both the corporate and leisure travel industry, to ensure that your travels are as comfortable and stress free as possible.
If you want to access the best seat on the plane, get a complimentary upgrade, or just know that all your preferences are understood without having to spell them out, and enjoy some industry leading airfares and hotel rates; then please do get in touch.
I work from home, so am available whenever suits you. We also have a 24/7 UK-based duty office, for times when I'm not available, and all bookings have 100% financial protection.
Please don't hesitate to contact me, to discuss how working with myself and Travel Counsellors would benefit your company.

James was able to help me source flights that I couldn't see myself on the airline's website. He was also able to hold the flights and then book them promptly once he had confirmation to book, James is always helpful and willing to go the extra mile to help clients.

I cannot thank James enough for what he has done for our company over the past 2 years. Despite there being no financial gain due to the travel industry being turned on its head as a result of COVID, he has always been there and provided invaluable updates as and when they have occurred and also providing useful links that again have been a significant source of information for us during the pandemic. His customer service is always exemplary, as well as his communication and availability, even at weekends when developments occur. James doesn't go the extra mile, but the extra 100 miles for which we are very grateful. Needless to say, we very much look forward to continuing our relationship with James and indeed Travel Counsellors.

I've only required James's services since May this year, but so far my experience has been extremely positive. I could not have travelled smoothly without his valuable help navigating the coronavirus rules. He put me at ease and made the whole process very simple, not to mention he always replied quickly when I needed extra help. Thank you James, I really do appreciate it.

Firstly thank you for your consistent travel advice during this pandemic.
I wanted to write to thank you. I had a very successful trip to Sardinia and Mallorca involving multiple flights and transfers, all of which were amazingly on schedule. The process was made easier thanks to your coordination and detailed advice especially on the specific testing and documents required at each stage. My faith is restored and I’ll travel once more.

We couldn’t ask for a better Travel Counsellor agent in James. James always goes the extra mile for all our clients. He is always extremely helpful and keeps us up to date with every step of our booking from the start to when our client travels. His professionalism and patience has been invaluable during this exceptional year when many of our clients travel arrangements have had to be cancelled or amended.

I only have the highest praise for Travel Counsellor and in particular James Wilson who is my main contact. James is not only extremely professional and committed to delivering excellence in customer service, but he is highly personable and genuinely cares about doing the right thing for me as his customer but also for our clients. This empathy and care really comes to the forefront when difficult situations need to be worked through together to resolution. He always goes above and beyond my expectations and always delivers - without exception. He is friendly, approachable and I think we are very lucky to have James as our agent.
