UK-based tour operator, Diverse Travel, has expanded the team and moved to new offices in Ipswich.

Kirsty Scopes recently joined the company as Administrator and now works alongside Jim and Cary Yanny, Holly Gibson and Bridget van der Horst in new offices in Ipswich. Kirsty is responsible for ticking the boxes for their guest’s dream holidays whilst making sure everything runs seamlessly.

“Cheerful, friendly and super-efficient, we couldn’t be happier to have her on board,” says Managing Director, Jim Yanny. “Coupled with the team’s vast experience in dive travel, we can safely say we have built one of the most professional teams in UK dive travel. Hence we needed more space and our new offices are in the beautiful landscape of the Suffolk countryside.”

Kirsty has worked in administration for 13 years, having studied business administration and appreciates that good customer service is about understanding just what each client is looking for, keeping promises and delivering consistently high standards. When not in the office, Kirsty has a passion for Volkswagens, travelling the UK in her camper van; she also loves the sea and is looking forward to becoming a certified diver so she can fully appreciate why Diverse Travel’s clients love this hobby so much.

Diverse Travel’s new offices are at 1 Charity Farm Estate, Chattisham, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP8 3QG; phone 01473 852002. With over twenty years of dive centre and resort management, the Diverse Travel team has the experience to deliver memorable diving holidays all covered by full financial ATOL protection.
