Diane is now looking forward to using her vast experience to help companies emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic that has devastated the industry over the past 14 months.

“The last 12 months have been extremely difficult for everyone involved in the travel and tourism sector, one of the hardest hit industries of our local economy,” said Diane.

“However, as the green shoots of positivity appear with the continued easing of lockdown restrictions, it’s now time for the industry to reset itself to prepare for the ‘restart’.

“Through DP Consultancy, I aim to use my 40 years’ experience, skills set and network of contacts to help organisations, groups or individuals who want to reset their objectives in the sector and plan for growth once again.

“The travel and tourism industry is one of the most dynamic, innovative and resilient sectors in our local economy and I am confident that DP Consultancy can help play a role in its recovery.”
