The South Quay Travel Team

Rebecca Ray

I have worked in group travel for the last 6 years and love the creativity that goes into the tours. I have planned 300 people to perform at Disneyland Paris, a large family of 50 to explore the northern lights as well as a ship society to travel along the Panama Canal.

Favourite Destination: One of my most memorial trips for me personally, was when I hired a car and took to the open roads of America exploring the small town of San Luis Obispo on the west coast and finishing in New York for Independence Day (4th July).

Therese Breslin

I head up the Product Team at South Quay Travel & Leisure and love the fact that group travel is now seen as a ‘trendy’ thing to do. The market is attracting more and more adventurous travellers, meaning that sourcing tours remains a dynamic and exciting field to be part of.

Favourite Destination: My favourite long haul destination is India; it’s just a totally different world – full of contrasts, colour, nature, flavours and of course beaming smiles!

Laure Pickup

The travel industry is great and you meet people from so many different countries and horizons as well as working with people’s dreams. Being French with some Italian touches, I always really enjoy being able to use foreign languages with our suppliers. I have been in the company for the last 16 and a half years.

Favourite Destination: Places I have travelled are mainly in Europe and include Austria, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Spain and indeed to my native country France and Disneyland Paris. Outside of Europe I have only been to the Big Apple but there are so many more destinations to learn about which I look forward to visit one day.

Joe Parente

Being a contract manager for over 25 years my work has taken me to many great destinations far and wide.

Favourite Destination: One place is particularly close to my heart and that’s Italy, offering great skiing locations up north to sun kissed sandy beaches to the south with mouthwatering cuisine and great hospitality awaiting you .

David Mbiyu

I’m a Graphic Designer, who loves to travel due to the intrigue of discovering the new, learning a new culture, and of course the numerous Instagram opportunities.


Favourite Destination: My favourite tours are Brazil and Vietnam, the view of Rio from the Sugarloaf mountain is spectacular as was riding the Reunification Express train from Ho Chin Minh City to Da Nang close to the old DMZ line.
