Each year, Envoyage Travel Managers come together for our annual conference, a chance to share ideas, strengthen connections and look ahead to the future of travel. This year’s gathering in Queenstown delivered inspiring sessions, collaborative learning and memorable experiences, all set in one of New Zealand’s most iconic destinations.

 🏆 Honoured to Win Two Awards at the 2025 Envoyage Summit in Queenstown

I’m beyond thrilled (and still a little in shock!) to share that I was honoured with two incredible awards at the 2025 Envoyage Summit held in stunning Queenstown — the Envoyage Emerging Independent of the Year and a High Achiever Award.

This annual event brings together over 200 travel brokers, agencies, suppliers, and the amazing head office support team, so to be recognised among such an inspiring group of professionals is something I’m incredibly proud of.

🌟 Emerging Independent of the Year 2025

This award recognises brokers who have launched their businesses within the last 18 months and are already showing strong signs of success and future potential. It’s not just about sales (though that’s part of it!); it also reflects engagement, marketing, brand-building, and the overall impact we're making as new travel business owners.

To be selected by the Envoyage Leadership Team for this award is a huge honour, and a real validation of the energy, passion, and persistence that’s gone into building my business from the ground up.

🚀 High Achiever Award 2025

The High Achiever Award celebrates strong performance across the board, from client service to sales, engagement, and growth. To receive this award alongside so many high-performing peers was an incredible moment and a reminder of just how far this journey has already taken me.

💬 A Few Words of Thanks

None of this would have been possible without the support of my incredible clients, industry mentors, and the wider Envoyage community. I’m deeply grateful for your trust, encouragement, and belief in what I’m building.

A special and heartfelt thank-you goes to Alix Ellis, my phenomenal admin support. Alix, your attention to detail, calm presence, and behind-the-scenes magic keep everything running smoothly, and allow me to focus on what I do best. I couldn’t do this without you!

These awards are a major milestone, but they’re also just the beginning. I’m more motivated than ever to keep growing, learning, and creating unforgettable travel experiences for the amazing people I get to work with every day.

Here’s to many more adventures ahead: for me, and for all of you who continue to dream, explore, and travel with me. ✈️🌍
