“We have been working with Nadine and Jones & Co for many years. As a partner of our business Nadine has introduced us to so many new suppliers from overseas that we would not have found on our own.

She is a great liaison between our business and the suppliers. She trains us on the best ways to communicate with them ensuring we are providing timely information for them work with proficiently.

We are reassured to know that she will step in to assist if any issues arise and she has a wealth of knowledge not only of her suppliers’ products but of the destinations as well. She is a networker and through her relationships is able to connect people globally. The Australian travel industry can be hard to break into especially if you are do not have contacts here. Likewise, Australian agents are cautious of using overseas suppliers they haven’t met and most are unable to attend trade shows around the world regularly so to have Nadine and Jones & Co as the intermediary contact works for both suppliers and agents.

Jones & Co portfolio is expanding, and we are looking forward to the opportunity of working with the new suppliers Nadine can introduce to us in the future. – Emma Whiting, Director, Emma Whiting Travel”

“The travel industry demands absolute professionalism at all times as it offers people a niche experience and life time of opportunities. Product knowledge, dispersion and communication are essential for brand awareness and importantly bookings which create revenue!

Nadine has the desire to always be educated thoroughly on product and her skill set is respected by her peers. Knowledge and follow up are imperative to her success.

Nadine's sporting career has taught her the importance of discipline and time management which are incredibly valuable tools when self-employed. Her determination to offer the best quality representation has been instilled in her by her parents, who have been most successful in their travel career.

Nadine is also active in fund raising for charity and in particular the Fight Cancer Foundation. Always one to put her hand up to assist with a great enthusiasm and much zest!

I would endorse Nadine to any future company looking for a professional, passionate, respected and very caring individual.”

It is my pleasure to recommend working with Nadine Jones. I have known Nadine for many years during which time she worked as our Sales Representative in Australia.

I have been consistently impressed with her attitude and productivity.

Nadine is both a self-starter, ambitious and super motivated. She will devote herself to any project with a high degree of diligence and passion.

Nadine has been effective in her efforts to not only stimulate business for us as our representative, but effectively cross engaged with various entities (media/trade/clients/suppliers, etc) to increase visibility and establish our brand in Australia.  

I particularly appreciate Nadine’s willingness to take initiatives to help the office serve its clients and ensuring growing results for our business.

Nadine Jones is a hard working, passionate and highly professional travel professional who has cultivated over many years a fantastic portfolio of  global destination management companies to represent and promote.  Nadine is well travelled and has a detailed knowledge of the destinations and the companies she promotes.  Nadine and her team are able to assist with information on how best to communicate with these international suppliers.  Her introductions to her hand-picked products have been invaluable.

I have had the opportunity to work with several of the Jones & Co suppliers.  They are all incredibly professional travel companies with a high level of expertise and knowledge in their destinations.  They are able to provide unique, personal, tailor –made travel experiences that have enabled my clients to create lasting and very special travel memories.

My clients are well travelled and very travel savvy. They are looking for ways in which to truly immerse themselves in a destination and to have “real” experiences with the locals to truly understand their culture and way of life.  The Jones & Co Collection has provided these travel experiences and so much more for my discerning clients.  Several have been back for repeat journeys with the same company due to the excellence of the experience they received.  Happy clients – happy travel agent!

I have also been privileged to experience the extensive services of both Dragonfly Africa and Iceland Travel first hand on separate travel agents educationals.  Both incredible and awe- inspiring destinations which were presented and showcased in the best possible way by these two amazing travel companies.

We are confident to work with any of the products that Nadine is representing as we know that she will only work with companies of the highest calibre by travel industry standards.

Travel Sense is proud to be associated with the Jones & Co and looks forward to continuing to work together to plan amazing travel adventures to incredible parts of our planet for our lucky clients.
