Welcome to our blog series, telling the stories behind the businesses in Clevedon.
Claire Spicer- Travel Counsellor
Tell us about your business. What services do you provide?
I know that today’s world of travel can feel more complicated than ever, which is why having trusted, up-to-date advice really matters. My role is to take away the stress of planning and booking, and replace it with excitement, confidence and joy. Whether you have a clear idea in mind or just a vague dream, I’ll listen carefully, understand what’s important to you, and turn that into a trip that truly fits.
You can expect an efficient, prompt and friendly service, with honest advice and thoughtful suggestions. I appreciate how precious your time and money are, so I’ll always go the extra mile to find the right holiday for you. And with everything you book through me 100% financially protected, you can relax knowing your travels are in safe hands.
From multi‑generational UK breaks to tailor‑made adventures through places like Borneo, from family getaways to couples’ escapes, group trips and cruise holidays (including expedition cruising), I’ll use my first‑hand experience and global knowledge to help you make the most of every journey.
How did you start your business? What’s the story?
I had a great career with John Lewis, but then decided I wanted to follow my passion for travel, and help others make holiday dreams come true. I found Travel counsellors and knew instantly that was what I wanted to do. Covid threw me a big curve ball, but I learnt lots, looked after my clients, and slowly built my business.
What is the best thing about running a business in Clevedon?
I love working from home, but also being part of the business community. I am part of a few networking groups in Clevedon which are really supportive. I have clients in Clevedon so it’s great to be able to meet for a coffee, or pop their boarding passes round to them. My daughter is super busy with clubs and it’s amazing that we can do everything without ever leaving Clevedon, which makes it easier for me to run my business!!
