Stéphanie Ingram - Senior Tour Co-ordinator

I am a French national and started my career as a PA in both Paris and the City in London in the early 1990s and when I moved to Cheltenham in 1992, I joined an award-winning tour operator to France and became one of their Product Managers.

After twelve years in the travel industry, I started working freelance, helping companies develop their business in France effectively, and I taught French to school-aged children and adults alike. My French skills and extensive knowledge of France led me to Gullivers Sports Travel in 2006 to start working on the Rugby World Cup 2007.

Having come from a rugby-mad family (I attended my first match at the tender age of three weeks to watch my second-row father), this was too good to be true! After two decades in England, I am an England supporter but I have to admit that when they play France, I still shout for Les Bleus!

During my time at Gullivers, I have been involved in various 6 Nations weekends, Hong Kong Sevens and the British & Irish Lions Tour to South Africa in 2009 which has to be the highlight so far, although the cricket tours I have accompanied (South Africa 2009 and Ashes Down Under twice) are pretty much up there too!  At the end of the day, attending all these wonderful sporting events is a huge perk and nothing beats hearing that, thanks to your dedication and effort, someone has just had the time of their lives.

During my spare time, I am a reflexologist and study for a Swedish Massage diploma and I also enjoy supporting Gloucester and Stade Français rugby clubs. I like sailing, which I do mostly in Brittany, and walking in the Cotswolds, but being a bit of a foodie, I am more likely to be caught out cooking, eating and…drinking wine!
