About us

Liz Harper

Liz launched LH Travel after twenty years in tourism, working across a number of disciplines from travel journalist to marketing strategist – the last five of which were spent as a marketing lead for luxury tour operator Abercrombie & Kent.

She’s a natural storyteller, and passionate about the businesses she works for – acting as an extension to inhouse teams, and as a marketing and sales function for owner operated businesses.

Well connected, well respected and results driven, she delivers meaningful business growth with creativity and flare.

Laura Shelbourne

Laura has over twenty five years experience working in public relations and marketing. Over this time she has built up a large network of media contacts, and delivered incredible brand and product exposure for clients across all mediums. She has an incredible knowledge of the ever-evolving media landscape, and understand what editors and journalists are looking for – her pitches are targeted, insightful, timely and creative. Supporting Liz in a PR capacity, Laura can help achieve media exposure for brands and businesses looking to expand their consumer reach.

Annabel Gerard-Pearse

Annabel has a background in office management and joined the business in 2022 in an administrative and sales support capacity. Growing up on a farm in the beautiful Scottish Borders gave her a thirst for the outdoors, adventure and wildlife from an early age. Her natural wanderlust has seen her traveling extensively and she’s currently living in Zimbabwe, giving her an opportunity to explore the diversity and beauty of Southern Africa, as well as keeping company database, systems and comms channels in order.

SEO optimised content is king and enables brands to connect with, engage and influence prospects and customers through creative story telling. It’s about adding value to your proposition and building relationships: people are naturally drawn to brands that share their values and tell a story which resonates.

Liz has been a core member of the strategic management team during the last eighteen months as we’ve redefined the SkySafari product and proposition. She has added huge value with her market insight, creative approach and commercial thinking. She was also the driving force behind the SkySafari rebrand – helping us to develop a new, and more aspirational visual identify and tone of voice for the SkySafari offering, and managing the design and development of a new showcase website for the business. Liz works in a really collaborative way and we have a great working relationship. On the representation front, she not only ensures that SkySafari is on the radar for key trade partners, but also ensures that sales teams have the in-depth knowledge required to sell with confidence. Beyond this she has managed to grow our brand exposure through trade channels (online, brochures, marketing comms, e-newsletters, social and media placements) significantly due to her partner relationships, interpersonal skills and passion for the business.
