We provide a range of affordable, sustainable adventures around the globe and in the UK, for example trekking to Machu Picchu, Petra, the Peaks of the Balkans, National Three Peaks and Charity Skydives.Despite our initial plans being curtailed by the pandemic, in my role as Founder I helped the company survive the impact of COVID-19, emerge and grow from strength to strength, launching new and exciting opportunities and achieving high multiples of growth year on year across all metrics.Now a small team, I left my corporate job to lead Endeavours full time in September 2022, with our goal to further drive our organisational plans forward well into the future, exploring new markets and opportunities that we can capitalise on and continue to share the joy and beauty of adventure travel.
