Travel Consultants Network

Travel Consultants Network

 

bgb operates a network of travel consultants, enabling us to offer the same high levels of service to clients with the smallest budgets.

If you don't require a full agency service, a member of our Travel Consultants Network may fit the bill instead. They are independent consultants, backed by bgb and our network of contacts, insight and events, which ensures you won't receive anything but the very best service.

Russell Ison

Russell Ison has been involved in PR for travel, tourism and transport for almost twenty years. He worked in-house for Thomson Travel, managing the PR for the company’s airline, Britannia, before setting up his own consultancy. Since then Swissport, BAA, Manchester Airports Group, Hovertravel, Thomsonfly and the British Air Transport Association have all been amongst his clients.

Russell has particular expertise in crisis communications having managed the media response to an air crash, the opening of Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 and the threatened closure of Heathrow Airport by campaigners. He advised clients on their response to the media in the wake of the London bombings, the banning of passenger hand baggage and subsequent restrictions on the carriage of liquids, and of course, the closure of UK airspace by volcanic ash.
