Based in Midlothian

Paula Saunders

It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, I’m Paula, and I run my own independent travel business in partnership with Travel Counsellors, a leading international travel company recognised for its award‑winning service. I specialise in corporate and academic travel, providing a proactive, professional service for organisations that value efficiency, reliability and expert support.

With over 35 years of experience in the travel industry, I have worked with universities, pharmaceutical companies and high‑profile fashion firms in central London. My core focus is on business and academic travel: I manage complex international itineraries for academic staff from Independent Schools across the UK, and I support student groups, conferences and executive travel, alongside tailored premium leisure arrangements.

My approach is highly consultative and detail‑driven. I work closely with each client to understand their travel policies, budget parameters and individual traveller preferences, then source appropriate fares and routing options that balance cost, convenience and duty of care. My aim is to streamline the entire process, reduce administrative burden for in‑house teams and deliver measurable value through time and cost savings.

Although I operate remotely from Midlothian, I support clients across the UK and internationally, including Scotland, London, the Midlands and the West Country. Using secure, modern technology, I offer responsive, one‑to‑one service and consistent support, whether you require a single trip or ongoing travel management.

If your organisation is looking for a reliable, experienced travel partner to manage corporate and academic travel, with the added benefit of personalised leisure travel services for your senior leaders and staff, I would be pleased to discuss how I can help.

I welcome the opportunity to connect and explore how we can work together.
