Ellen Walker, Head of Sales & Marketing

Ellen credits her lifelong love of travel to taking a gap year when she was younger. She was instantly captivated, and over the past nearly 40 years she has built a career in the industry while exploring the world extensively.

Ellen's favourite destination is the place she considers her second home - Portugal - where she has developed strong relationships with local suppliers that have grown into lasting friendships.
