Rachel
Emerson moved to the Travel Management Group
in the middle of the volcanic ash cloud crisis,
to begin work as an account manager at the group's
TMG Events division.
In
her first few weeks in the job, she has also
helped the 45-strong TMG team to transport Fulham
Football Club's players, management, VIPs and
many supporters to Hamburg for the Europa Cup
final, along with dealing with the ongoing British
Airways cabin crew dispute.
"I
think it's fair to say it's been a baptism of
fire, but I'm loving it at the moment,"
the 28-year-old said.
"I've
already had unique experiences - such as being
involved with the fallout of the ash cloud and
then helping with the trips to Germany, first
for the semi-final of the cup and then actually
travelling across for the final.
"Now
there's a lot happening because of the dispute
at BA, so it's been a bit non-stop for the group.
But the team has been really supportive and
there's been a real will here to make sure we
do the best for our customers."
Rachel
started her career in Paris before returning
to the UK to complete an MSc in Events at Leeds
Metropolitan University.
Most
recently she was worked for another independent
events firm in the Midlands, before making the
move to the Dormer Place-based group.
Ian
Currington, a director at TMG, said: "Rachel
is very skilled in her field and has developed
strong experience during the last few years.
"The
first few weeks have been a real test for everyone
in our industry, but Rachel has settled in straight
away and been a valuable member of the team
during a very busy time.
"She
has a lot to bring to TMG and we're delighted
that she's joined."
