Working for Gullivers

Who We Are
Gullivers Sports Travel is the UK’s leading sports tour operator providing travel with guaranteed match tickets for rugby and cricket fans to major events including Rugby World Cup, British & Irish Lions, RBS 6 Nations, Hong Kong Sevens, Dubai Sevens, ICC Cricket World Cup, England winter cricket tours and more. Our first British & Irish Lions tour was to New Zealand in 1977 and we are the only UK tour operator to have been officially appointed at every Rugby World Cup to date. Through Cricket Logistics, Gullivers is the Official Travel and Tour Provider for the International Cricket Council.

For over 30 years, Gullivers has also been organising overseas playing tours for schools and clubs wishing to compete, whatever their level, in everything from cricket, rugby, hockey, netball, football and tennis to Gaelic football, basketball and golf.

Rugby and Cricket Supporters Tours
Gullivers occasionally recruits for tour co-ordinators to support our sales and operations teams for major events. These roles are generally offered on a fixed term contract ie until the end of the event and tend to suit recent graduates or others interested in starting out on a career in travel.  Knowledge of the destination is desirable, but a genuine interest in the sport involved and the travel industry generally is essential.

Playing Tours for Schools and Clubs
Gullivers Schools and Clubs department consists of a sales team and an operations team. Both teams work closely with sports leaders in schools and clubs to tailor-make a tour that meets their requirements in terms of budget, fixtures, destination, accommodation, flights/ferry and excursions.

Other Departments
The above departments are supported by Flight Operations, Marketing, IT, Accounts and HR.

Tour Managers
Our policy is to use our office based staff as tour managers in the first instance and we also use tour managers from a pool of our regular freelancers. We pride ourselves on offering our clients personal service from start to finish. Additional tour managers are only recruited for major events and we look for those with prior tour managing experience, knowledge of the destination and an affinity with rugby/cricket supporters. We rarely recruit additional cricket tour managers.

Career Opportunities
Should we have vacancies in any of the above areas, they are posted on this website below.  If you have relevant experience, specifically in the sports travel industry (or similar) and/or in group flight operations (ideally Amadeus or other GDS and BT/IT ticketing), then we are always interested in hearing from you. Please email your CV to gullivers@gulliverstravel.co.uk.
