Managing Director
I have been involved with Airedale since the turn of the century when my partner David Kettell became a partner, 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.
Despite the pandemic, Airedale is stronger than ever, and we are really looking forward, with customer care and satisfaction paramount. I could not hope for a better team to help me face an exciting future.
I love travelling, walking, my three children, our dog Billie and of course Orla, my cat.
Marketing Executive
I joined Airedale Tours as a Marketing Executive in July 2024, bringing with me several years of experience working at a marketing agency in Leeds since I was 18.
In my role at Airedale, I'll be responsible for overseeing all marketing activities. I look forward to connecting with you and meeting you at the shows we’ll be attending.
I’ve been a dedicated Leeds United season ticket holder since 2012, attending all the home games with my dad and the away games with my friends.
When Leeds aren’t playing, I love to travel. Exploring new destinations is one of my biggest passions, which makes marketing for Airedale Tours a perfect fit for me!
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!
Itineraries Organiser
I’m thrilled to have joined Airedale Tours in December 2024 as Itineraries Organiser. I take care of planning your itineraries, excursions, and coaches and will work closely with Steph to ensure your holiday runs smoothly.
When I’m not at work, I love to garden and tend to my allotment, where I grow a variety of flowers, fruits, and vegetables. I also enjoy exploring Yorkshire and venturing further afield, discovering new places and experiences along the way.
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
Michael Rofe - National Trust Southport & Formby Association
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.
Joan Smith
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.
