Five minutes with Jack Avon – Commercial Finance Manager
1. What inspired you to work in the travel industry?
As my parents worked in the HM overseas services I spent a large part of my childhood in airports, aeroplanes and travelling. Travel is and always will be a
part of who I am.
2. What do you enjoy the most in your role here at Tourvest Retail Services?
There are two aspects of my role that get me out of bed every day. The first is I get to interact with so many people across our business, learning what they do
and how they make a difference in such a complex environment. I find that so inspiring. The second is I am continually challenged, just when I think I have got
the master of something, I must think again and my boss mentors me very well in this respect.
3. What do you enjoy the most about working in travel in general?
With Tourvest, I get to indulge my interest in aviation. I have been an aviation enthusiast since childhood.
4. What is your favourite travel destination?
I have been very fortunate to have travelled to so many regions of our globe, and my favourite destination by a mile is France.
5. What do you enjoy doing outside work?
In my outside work time when I get a chance, I pick up my cameras and trek out into the country to take photo images and occasionally I play veterans Hockey
for my club in Wimbledon.
