Group Organiser profile – Jane Cornelius, Newbury DFAS

April 2013

We understand that without our wonderful Group Organisers there would be no Tailored Travel. After all, it’s the Group Organiser who decides where the next adventure will be, rallies the members to book and acts as the liaison between us and the group.
