Linsay Glaze
"I have now been a Travel Advisor for two and a half years, including the past 18 months with Silver Travel. Prior to this, I spent over 30 years in advertising sales, which provided me with a strong and transferable skill set that has supported my transition into the travel industry. I have always enjoyed helping friends and family plan their holidays, so moving into this role felt like a very natural step. The training provided is excellent and ongoing, and I’m fortunate to be part of a friendly, supportive, and highly knowledgeable team. I’m really pleased with how things are progressing. While the role requires dedication and hard work, it is incredibly rewarding to help clients bring their dream holidays to life."
Dianne Cox
"I have worked in travel for over 35 years but been at Silver Travel Advisor for over 3 years now and really love the flexibility and working culture. I have the freedom I desire to travel as and when I like, to work when it is suitable to me, even overseas, and this is backed by great support and training. I always thought working from home would not suit me but it is the best decision I have made. Silver Travel Advisor, as well as providing leads, encourages you and offers support and advice to help create your own business but also understands that a balance between work and home life is essential. I definitely would not return to a 9-5 job!"

"Three years on from joining Silver Travel Advisor as a homeworker, I can confidently say it has been the perfect way to re-enter the world of travel. In my previous career, I flew across the globe as cabin crew for Emirates. While life took me on different paths after that, my passion for travel never truly left me. One of the biggest benefits for me is the flexibility. Being a homeworker allows me to manage my own schedule, giving me the freedom to run my other business alongside my travel career without having to compromise on either passion. It truly offers the best of both worlds. When deciding on which homeworking company to join, the structure of the company itself was a huge consideration. We operate as a small, tight-knit team, which means you never feel like just another number. There is a genuine sense of community and mutual support here, which made transitioning back into travel incredibly smooth. Furthermore, the sheer wealth of experience within the team is incredible. Even though we work remotely, I am constantly surrounded by seasoned travel professionals whose deep industry knowledge is a continuous source of inspiration and support."
