Andrew Paltridge
Andrew has over 15 years of Industry Experience.
After completing a Bachelor of Business, Andrew worked for a major oil company in a marketing role.
The lure of overseas travel proved too great though and so with backpack in tow in 1989, he headed to Europe. After much independent travel, Andrew decided that life as a tour manager running and organising tours would be fun, plus it would enable him to see more of the world whilst working.
Returning to Australia, Andrew worked for almost 10 years for an international tour operator as the National Sales and Marketing Manager where he was in charge of all sales and marketing for Australia and New Zealand. He set up his own company, Adventure & Travel Marketing in 2004. Andrew has 2 children and lives on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.
Malcolm Lewis
Malcolm left his home state of Victoria, Australia for 6 weeks in 1986 and has still not returned (well only for quick family visits).
He spent 5 of the most memorable years of his life as a tour leader. He travelled all over Europe, Nth Africa, Middle East & the Indian Sub-continent on the infamous Double Decker buses before deciding that this experience should be passed onto the unsuspecting public and he became a Travel Agent in the UK.
Later, he started a long and illustrious career with Flight Centre first in NZ, before returning to Australia in 1999 and after 3 years as Manager at a Flight Centre retail shop he moved to the Corporate world.
He is now happily the joint owner and Sales Director.
Malcolm is married, with 2 children and lives in Brisbane.
