The Headwater sales and admin team

James has worked at Headwater for the past 5 years, watching the company go from stength to strength and, he says, "I've enjoyed every minute of it!". James has a great passion for travel and is always looking forward to booking his next holiday. Out of work he gets great pleasure from the outdoors, walking with his Chocolate Labrador (William), playing tennis and socialising with friends.

Kerry has a real love of travel and especially loves visiting the islands of the Med. Her all time favourite is Cyprus - where she was engaged and married. When she's not island hopping she enjoys spending time with her family, going walking and cycling, meeting up with friends... or simply relaxing with a good 'chick flick' book.

Jo has spent the most part of the last 20 or so years juggling a career in sales with being a mum! Outside of work, she enjoys being outdoors with Chris, the girls and pup, Tess; going to the theatre, and making the most of long weekend breaks both in the UK and abroad. Her favourite place in England is the New Forest - lovely and unspoilt but with great choices for eating and drinking - and, overseas, is particularly drawn to France.

When she's not reading or playing guitar, Sarah enjoys visiting the cinema and theatre - or just spending time with her family and friends. Trips with Headwater include a visit to Slovenia, where she discovered this shrapnel shelter left over from WW1.

Justly proud of her Italian heritage, Alessia was born in Florence, Tuscany, and spent many of her early years growing up in the Florentine Hills to the North of the city, an area called Mugello famous for its fine arts, exquisite food and fields of sunflowers! After studying languages, she decided to broaden her horizons by heading out to Egypt where she gained work accompanying groups around the country. On returning to Europe Alessia decided to continue her travels in Scandanavia where she became a professional cross-country ski instructor and went on to work several winters for a local ski school in Austria. Apart from travel, Alessia is passionate about photography, theatre, cycling and cookery and has managed to perfect the art of tiramisu!!!!

Helen has over 20 years of working within various different aspects of the travel industry, 10 of those years have been spent working at Headwater. She has a keen interest for travel and thoroughly enjoys taking holidays with her family as often as she can.

Nicole says she loves the outdoors - both close to home as on this picture in Wales on a wintery day, or further afield exploring different countries and cultures. Apart from this, running, reading travel books and enjoying a good night out are her favourite hobbies!

Travel has always been a passion for Karen and she reckons the Headwater philosphy is a great way to see a country. So, with 10 years Headwater experience behind her, she's always happy to help to spread her enthusiasm.

One of her favourite Headwater destinations is Greece, she says "I just love the Greek food, the people & its relaxed pace". As a new mum Michelle is getting plenty of fresh air, introducing her daughter Lily to Cheshire's finest walks.
