Meet the Team

Linda Schulz

Managing Director

I've been involved with Airedale since the turn of the century when my partner, David Kettell, acquired the company, serving as shareholder and director for many years, whilst bringing up our children and creating a rather lovely art gallery. In 2018 I stepped in as MD and began running the company.

I play an active role in our sales and marketing efforts, working closely with Danielle and consulting with our Organisers, where I particularly enjoy designing and coordinating holidays.

Airedale is stronger than ever, with customer care and satisfaction at the heart of everything we do. I couldn't ask for a better team to help me embrace an exciting future.

Stephanie Shearon

Tours Administrator

I have been with Airedale since 2018. Having over 15 years’ previous experience working in customer services has enabled me to build a great relationship with our customers and I take pride in making sure you are all looked after. I am here to answer any of your questions, and to deal with any requests you may have, together with producing rooming lists, booking flights, invoicing and all the administration that go towards your holidays. I love spending time with my husband and children, and we all love to travel!

Danielle Golding

Itineraries Organiser

I'm delighted to have joined Airedale Tours in December 2024 as an Itineraries Organiser. I handle the planning of itineraries, excursions, and coaches, working closely with Steph to ensure every holiday runs smoothly.

In addition, I oversee all things marketing, collaborating with Linda to promote our tours.

Outside of work, I have a passion for gardening and love tending to my allotment, where I grow a variety of flowers, fruits, and vegetables. I also enjoy exploring Yorkshire and beyond, always on the lookout for new places and experiences.

Billie

Chief Food Inspector

I joined Airedale in 2022 as Chief Food Inspector, and take my role VERY seriously. You will always find me sniffing for crumbs and raw mushrooms are my only dislike. You may hear me sometimes in the background on the phone saying hello!

A very big thank you to Airedale, particularly Jo, Lesley and Steph for organising a brilliant holiday to Norfolk. Everyone on the tour thoroughly enjoyed themselves and are anxious to hear news of our 2022 holiday

JM - Alton Health & Fun Club in Hampshire – Botanical / Coach

One of the best things about Airedale is their personal administration service. All the worry is taken away bookings and payments are sent directly to Airedale, saving me a lot of work. The Airedale staff are always helpful, friendly and efficient, nothing is too much trouble.

Michael Rofe - National Trust Southport & Formby Association

A big thank you to you all for making it easier to organise this holiday. I have been dealing with you for over 30 years and have always been given help with queries promptly and willingly. How you manage it all I can’t imagine, but you always do an excellent job.
