Want your business to be the top-listed Travel Agency?
I must have one of the best offices in the world! West Wittering beach is where I conduct much of my business whilst strolling through the dunes with my dog Jessie. I am lucky enough to spend much of my time down in the Wittering and am privileged to manage some of the finest holiday properties in the areas.
I set up Wellies & Windbreaks just before my third child, Sam started school. I had returned to office-based work in London after both Ella and Charlie, but felt that if I was to combine parenthood with employment then I needed to find something that I could do where I dictated my own hours. Finding a job that genuinely permits you to do everything you need / want to do for your family as well as earning money and enjoying genuine work satisfaction really is the holy grail. I count myself as one of the lucky ones to have been able to find a balance that works.
Managing my father-in-law’s holiday home in East Wittering gave me a platform to set up my own holiday rentals business. I figured if I could do it for him then why not offer my services to others. When two prospects became firm clients, I set up my website. Back in April 2015 I started with these three properties. Almost three years on and I now have 16 properties on the books and the business continues to grow, primarily by word of mouth.
I have learned a lot along the way and still have so much further to go. Even in three years the holiday rental industry in the UK has undergone significant change. Airbnb has transformed the market place and instant online booking has changed the way holiday makers choose their holiday accommodation. Competing in an ‘instant book’ marketplace is not without its challenges, but I firmly believe that there are still people out there who actually like to talk to human beings before committing to something. Offering a personal approach to both home owners and holidaymakers alike is the cornerstone of my business. I know each and every one of my properties inside out, I work with some of the best cleaners in the area and I know and love this part of the world. I love being able to offer advice to holiday makers on what to do and where to go in the local area. Nothing beats a “Beach Body Buster” at Billys on the Beach.
