Rachael Knowles began her FCTG journey in 2013, fresh out of the world of journalism, looking for a way to earn some cash after realising her career as a local reporter wasn’t paying the rent. Rachael saw it as the perfect opportunity to combine her love of travel with the chance to work for one of the world’s biggest travel brands. She started as a Travel Consultant at the Oxford Street Hyperstore in the UK and immediately fell in love with the vibrant, travel-obsessed culture. Talking about travel all day was a dream come true. Within 1.5 years, Rachael was promoted to Assistant Team Leader at the Monument Hyperstore, where she managed both retail clients and a growing portfolio of FCBT clients.

It’s about creating a workplace, a company, and a world where everyone feels empowered and excited about what’s next. Curious? Let us break it down for you.
