 EMMA SKEA-STRACHANProducer (Series 2, 3 & 4) Emma has been a bit of a travel organising expert for over 20 years now - with huge experience planning luxury trips for the rich and famous. Now she looks after the crew...who are not so rich and not so famous! Emma has travelled extensively and has stayed and played in some of the worlds greatest resorts, spas and golf courses. She has a passion for all things furry, feathery and woolly - pictured with Ernie the lamb.  TIM PLATTENCameraman/Director (Series 1-4) While he may look like an extra from the Lord of the Rings (an Ork of course!), Tim is one of the most affable, creative and hard-working cameramen in England. He has worked with David Beckham and Tiger Woods, but the only thing he knows about the word "sports" is how to spell it. He boasts that he once held a national speed bicycle racing record...and that he wore Lycra doing so...hmmm... Tim makes the show look and sound good, will eat anything...the more raw the better.  JAMES FULCHERField Producer & Camera Assistant (Series 2, 3 & 4) James has been training as a Camera Assistant on broadcast cameras for 2 years. He's a member of the Guild of Television Cameramen Council - representing Camera Assistants and contributes to its magazine quarterly. His work has taken him to many diverse and obscure places, but Inside Luxury Travel should beat them all! In his spare time, he walk on his hands (but not very far) and plays Ultimate Frisbee (but not with his feet)!  OLI DA COSTAWebsite Developer (Series 1-4) TV Series Editor (Series 3 & 4) Oli has been involved with Inside Luxury Travel for a few years in a variety of guises. Nowadays, Oli is the editor of the TV series and all-round website chap, plugging in things like blogs and twitter feeds, as well as editing the 200+ video clips for the website, at Fraktiv. Oli's into his extreme sports, carting his bike and/or snowboard to the top of mountains all over the world and throwing himself off...with mixed results!  EDWARD HENDERSONTV Series Assistant Editor (Series 4) With a passion for pictures and a complete inability to draw Ed has had to hone his skills with a camera and computer to sate his artistic urges. When not sat behind a screen editing he is often found behind a camera shooting stills or moving image, no doubt an interest passed through the genes of his fashion photographer father. Having met Oli on the side of an Alp and discovering they had the same interests in video as well as bikes it was only a matter of time before the duo paired up to form the editing double act we see today.  MATT PERROTTTV Series Dubbing Mixer (Series 3 & 4) Matt has over 8 years experience as a sound designer and mixer. He has worked on jobs from all over the world whilst been based in Sydney, Amsterdam and London. When not mixing audio, you can expect to find him trying to surf England as if it was North Narrabeen and cheering on Aston Villa with a distinctly Australian accent!  KIM KEBLE-WHITEMarketing & Sponsorship (Series 1-4) Kim has held senior marketing & sponsorship roles in the hospitality business over the last 20 years, mainly within five star hotels and international resorts, bringing with him a wealth of experience and understanding of the upscale traveller. His sense of fun and style sometimes eludes him when stuck in the famous 'Road Hole' bunker on The Old Course, St. Andrews in the freezing cold, driving wind, pouring rain...  KAREN LUARDPR Director (Series 3 & 4) Karen, better known in Asia as Karen Penlington or just 'KP', has accumulated over 30 years of experience in the worlds of publishing and PR in Hong Kong, Sydney and London. A 'keen Kiwi' brought up in Hong Kong, she worked in PR for The Peninsula in Hong Kong and Inter Continental Hotel Sydney before setting up her own operation. She gained fame penning a social diary for the Hong Kong Tatler and subsequently South China Morning Post before moving to London where she spent over five years as Director of PR, Europe, for Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. She set up KPCommunications in 2009 and currently handles a variety of clients including The Guild of Travel and Tourism, The Chic Collection of Hotels, Shanghai-Today.com, Grand Canyon West/Hualapai Nation in the USA, and Inside Luxury Travel!  JULIA RECORDPR Director (Series 2 & 3) Once our beloved PR, now Director of Communications for The Dorchester Collection |
