Our People

When we say we were created by teachers, for teachers, we really mean it! We were originally founded by a former MFL teacher, who created Halsbury to help make it easier for more teachers to take their students on inspirational school trips abroad.

Our dynamic team is made up of former teachers and school travel specialists.

These are our people. And your support network.

Travel has such huge potential to broaden our understanding and expand horizons. I was talking to the deputy head of a school who told me about a pupil of his who went on a trip to New York, having never previously left his own home town, and how he came back with a sense of how much the world has to offer and the drive to reach all the opportunities available to him. It was truly transformative.
