OUR STORY
Shaped
by Travel
Established in 2012 by Blair Huston and Mandy Nicod, we have become one of New Zealand’s largest privately-owned travel companies. At a time when the rest of the travel industry was focused on quantity rather than quality, we were determined to raise the bar and provide dedicated senior account management advisors for ALL our clients.
Our team are experts in domestic and international travel. From the start, we have established a reputation for superior service, and our business has grown through recommendations and word of mouth.
