Huw
As Owner and Managing Director of the Hargreaves & Nurse LTD I have been working in the travel industry for over 30 years, at first in the Alps and the Med and now in the head office, when you work in travel, every day is different with new challenges and adventures arising all the time.
I love Sardinia with its granite rock formations and the wonderful small coves but most of all the crystal clear waters.
Alison
After founding Just Sardinia with my husband Huw in 2000, I found myself naturally marketing the company through my love and in depth knowledge of the island. This stemmed from living in Sardinia for a couple of years and wanting to expand the English market to Sardinia which we have successfully done with hotels, villas, apartments and rural retreats throughout the island and finding new properties every year!
I am involved in writing our brochures and websites, PR and developing our brands which include Just Sicily and Just Corsica.
Martin
I joined the company as Financial Controller in 2015 after spending nearly thirty years in similar positions in the Catering and Hospitality sector.
As a long-time admirer of the Italian culture and way of life and regular visitor to the mainland I am now enjoying discovering the beauty and laid back charm of Sardinia.
Debbie
My time here began with me 'helping out' for 2 weeks, which was 15 years ago now. Over the years I have been lucky enough to see the company grow, meet some wonderful people, make some lifelong friends and visit Italy more times than I can remember.
My job role has evolved so much, from Administration and Reservations to my current and longest role as Operations Manager. I love dealing directly with our Italian partners as well as my involvement in the product development, our brochures, websites and marketing.
Elaine
I’ve been involved in the travel industry for the past 15 years, 11 of which with HN Holidays. I really value the in-depth knowledge of Sardinia and Sicily that I’ve acquired over the years and enjoy sharing this with anyone that will listen.
I love being in the sea in Sardinia; swimming, sailing or diving. When I’m not in the sea I like exploring to find stunning scenery or interesting towns.
Emma
Having spent time in Reservations and Operations over the years I’ve finally settled on Administration Manager and I’m responsible ensuring that all our customers get a great service after they have booked, it’s a challenging role but very satisfying.
Lucy
I started helping out over the summer 13 years ago, since then I have worked in Administration and Reservations and now am busy in our Marketing and Operations department which varies day to day, keeping in contact with our Italian partners.
I enjoy travelling to Italy, most recently with my children, who all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and often, through their play, are found to be in Sardinia on holiday!
Aurora
I am from Italy and, more specifically, from Palermo in Sicily. I started to work with HN Holidays in April 2015, thinking that it would have been just a summer internship but now I know that those first 6 months were just the beginning.
I started working in the Administration department before moving in to the Reservations department in September, ready to help and inspire you in choosing a holiday in Sicily or Sardinia.
Kat
I have recently returned to the HN Holiday ‘family’ again since gaining some other travel industry experience and having my daughter. It is not difficult for me to sell holidays to Italy as it is impossible to hide my enthusiasm and love for the island.
Having had multiple work trips and holidays to Italy I have seen many areas and visiting Italy feels like going to my second home.
Gemma
I’m the newest member of the family and started my training in March 2017 in the reservations department.
Italy is so beautiful, yet different in each area so I would highly recommend hiring a car, just to explore Italy a little bit of the beaten track combining the marvellous countryside with the stunning coastline.
Francesca
I am from Sardinia and I've joined the company in March 2017 working in Accounts Department and can’t be happier with my choice. I received a warm welcome and the feeling to be part of a family really makes the difference!
My favourite holiday destinations are Sardinia, for its sea, and Sicily, for its historic towns. I hope to visit those places again very soon as they are simply unforgettable.
Antonio
After graduating in Turin, I've kept busy travelling, worked in the hospitality industry in Italy, Switzerland and Japan and moved into the travel industry, based in London, in 2000.
I love organising complex tailor-made holidays (the more stopovers and tours, the better) – and coffee.
