About Ross

A Dorset boy – born and raised. When I left school, I travelled just over 100 miles, which seemed epic at the time, to study at, what would later become, Cheltenham University. Degrees in hand, I set off to travel the world with two school friends. Returning to Cheltenham, my first taste of working in the travel industry was at an engineering company – working on A380 landing gear. I joined A&K in 2007 as a facilities administrator and have worked my way up through to rank to my current position – looking after Asia and Australasia.
