Meet our staff
Adam White
Managing Director
Email Adam
Adam was never supposed to be in travel. At least that’s what the career counsellor said after visiting his school. But having been born in Calcutta, and lived on Guernsey, and studied in Paris, it is perhaps unsurprising that a life in travel beckoned.
Whilst he tells people he started in travel aged five because he is still so young, Adam has thirty-two years experience in the industry, having started as an apprentice with Thomas Cook and worked his way up. He is now living his dream by building up his own travel company, Baxter Hoare Travel.
Despite being a workaholic Adam tries to get a life balance by playing competition bridge, travelling to new places and supporting The Arsenal.
