Erica is one of our Area Sales Managers for Trade Travel Gold Coast & Northern NSW as well as our Retail Travel Manager running our travel office based in Tweed Heads. With almost 25 years in the retail travel industry, Erica’s experience is a major asset to our company. Her attention to detail and customer service is second to none.
Originally from North Queensland, Erica has lived in Tweed Heads for nearly 20 years so is nearly considered a local! “I’ve been in the industry almost since I left High School! I left to try my hand at a couple of other jobs and to have my children but the industry called me back each time. Travel is in my blood and I absolutely love my job! I’ve been with Trade Travel now for 10 years, so am one of the “oldies” of the team however when you find a good thing you stick with it.”
Erica teamed up with her colleague Rod to take on the Area Sales Manager role for Gold Coast & Northern NSW and welcomes the opportunity to meet you and discuss options for your group or individual travel - whether over a cuppa, to speak at your Club meeting or seeing you in the Tweed Heads office which is conveniently based within the Tweed Heads Bowls Club.
“I get a kick out of seeing a tour come together from the ground up. Let’s face it – travelling is exciting and I love being able to turn someone’s dream into reality and making the process easy and stress free for the client. It’s so nice having a client come back and say they had the time of their lives!”
