Leigh Holing

After an exciting 6 years in London where her role as a PA involved managing complex travel itineraries for her team of Directors, Leigh returned to South Africa and joined Travel Incorporated based in Umhlanga, KZN. Four years as a Senior Consultant at this boutique leisure agency afforded Leigh the opportunity to look after the outbound market, liaising with clients and creating travel itineraries within Africa, the Indian Ocean Islands, Europe, the Far East and Australia. Joining American Express Travel Services presented the opportunity to focus on a Corporate clientele expanding her experience within the industry. In March 2015 Leigh joined Pride Lodges, a role which fulfills her love of the industry and a passion for Africa and its unique destinations. Leigh’s own travel experiences, both local and abroad combined with the knowledge gained in her career has equipped her with an understanding and appreciation of client expectations.
