Ski Tour Organiser

PGL is the UK's market leading provider of activity holidays and study courses for young people.

Based at our Head Office in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, our Ski & Overseas Adventure department is a small, well established team who work closely to support each other during the busy operating seasons. The team handle sales and bookings for both new and retained groups wishing to travel with us to our wide catalogue of ski destinations.

As a Tour Organiser you will be responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the trip for our customers and retaining them once they have travelled with us.

Key responsibilities include:
• Providing a high level of customer service to our travelling customers;
• Booking all aspects of a groups stay – accommodation, transport and all ski related add ons;
• Generating quotes for new customers and tailor made quotes for specific requests;
• Coordinate all ski course arrangements from time of booking to departure;
• Maintaining contact with groups during their trip;
• Chasing customers for overdue payments;
• Undertaking educational visits to site to improve knowledge of resorts and hotels;
• Providing emergency cover to groups when they’re in resort;

• Help teachers to overcome issues as they launch their trip to ensure that the maximum number of trips go ahead.

In addition the candidate will move over to the PGL’s International Team after ski groups have returned from Easter trips until the end of August. They will continue with many of the duties above, but will be looking after international groups via agents and the Overseas Development Team. Both roles require similar skill sets with the ability to support sales staff to win business and then to provide all the necessary administration to efficiently operate the course. This offers the right candidate an excellent opportunity to expand their knowledge over a new product.
