Vanessa de Vere

It's Nice To Meet You

My name is Vanessa de Vere and I am a Business Travel Manager with Travel Counsellors, specialising in conferences, incentives and group corporate travel.
I help businesses manage their travel both logistically and financially, so every photoshoot, event and incentive programme runs smoothly, delivers impact and stays firmly on budget.

With over 40 years of experience and a background in complex travel management, I understand the fast changing needs of modern business travel. Whether you are planning an overseas conference, a leadership retreat, an incentive trip or a series of roadshows, I coordinate flights, hotels, venues, transfers and on the ground services into one seamless, well paced itinerary. My role is to remove the strain, so you can focus on your business objectives and your delegates.

I offer truly personal service: no call centres, just a single, dedicated point of contact who knows you, your travellers and your policies. I respond quickly, work flexibly around your schedule (not just 9–5) and will agree a service level that suits us both. For added reassurance, I am supported by our 24/7/365 duty office, so your travellers are never without expert assistance, wherever they are in the world.

As part of one of the UK’s Top 20 Travel Management Companies, with over 25 years of trading history and annual purchasing power in excess of £650m, my clients also benefit from competitive corporate rates and fares. I provide clear, tailored reporting and analysis so you can see exactly how your travel budget is being used and where savings and efficiencies can be made, without compromising on traveller comfort or duty of care.

From everyday business travel through to high profile incentive trips, conferences and events, my clients value my calm, detailed and highly proactive approach. I take time to understand your culture, your brand standards and what a “successful event” looks like for you, then design travel solutions that reflect your business at its very best.

Business is built on relationships and my “person to person” approach mirrors that. See me as part of your own team: your Travel PA, dedicated to delivering your conference and incentive travel objectives with professionalism, care and complete peace of mind.

If managing your business travel, conferences or incentives has become a headache, let me take the strain. Please do get in touch to explore how I can support your next event or programme.

Vanessa has been extremely helpful and patient in helping us plan our company meeting in Lisbon. She gauged our brief completely and the attention to detail is second to none! A pleasant experience; Vanessa was always available and lead on suggestions / locations/ content for our event. Really happy and would highly recommend.

Once again Vanessa saved us from a business travel overspend and chaos. I can't recommend her friendly, can-do attitude and efficient, thorough service highly enough. Thank you x
