Lynda Merryweather

In this blog post, we introduce you to Lynda, Regional Sales Manager for the North East. She tells us about what she wanted to be when she grows up and what she loves in the career she ended up pursuing.

• Why did you want to join inspiresport?

12 years in the holiday travel industry followed by 4 years in spectator sports travel, this role gave me another opportunity to combine my passion for sport & travel.

 

• How long have you been with inspiresport?

3 years

 

• What do you like the most about your job?

Seeing how excited our young customers are when we launch a tour, or when they depart on it. I love to follow my schools & clubs on social media while they are away & to see them enjoying themselves after we have all worked hard to put the tour together

 

•  As a child, what did you think you were going to be when you grow up?

A veterinarian 

 

• What do you like doing in your spare time –  do you have any hobbies/how do you relax?

I love being outdoors and I am lucky enough to have the countryside on my doorstep. I enjoy running and long walks. My main hobby is going on holiday! I will take any opportunity to go somewhere new even if it’s just for the day. I’ve just started learning Spanish at night school too.

 

•  Who is your sporting hero?

 Thierry Henry – I love him

 

• What is your favourite inspiresport tour and why?

Hard to pick a favourite, they all have different ‘best bits’ and that’s why they suit different groups. I am particularly fond of PSV Eindhoven. As a club, I think they go above and beyond to make sure everyone has the best possible experience.
