Lindsay Barron
In 2015, Tourism New Zealand recognized Lindsay's experience and passion for New Zealand when he was granted a lifetime "Gold Status" New Zealand specialist award.
For over 30 years he's been creating New Zealand itineraries for discerning international visitors looking for something beyond the "same old, same old" experiences when they visit New Zealand.
His passion is to work with his customers to build vacations that explore the very essence of New Zealand - it's history, art, people, culture, food, wine and magnificent scenery.

Jane Cousens
Another highly experienced New Zealand travel expert with a background in retail travel, Jane has been described as 'the ultimate travellers advocate' sharing as she does Lindsay’s passion for making sure that customer's needs remain at the heart of planning their New Zealand vacation.
“As well as our most famous landmarks, like Milford Sound and Rotorua, there are many off the beaten track places in New Zealand that visitors simply don’t get to see" she says "and it’s these special hideaways and experiences that my customers often tell me were the highlights of their visit".

Jerry Bridge
After traveling to all corners of the world, in 1989 Jerry founded his first travel business called ‘Bridge the World’ based in London, UK, selling worldwide flights and holidays. By the time he sold the business in 2002 his company had achieved an annual turnover of close to USD100m and employed 150 staff.
In 2004 he launched his second travel company 'Bridge & Wickers’ this time specializing in tailor-made luxury holidays to Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Soon afterwards he met his Kiwi wife-to-be and as a result made the move to his new home in Wellington, New Zealand’s capital city. Commuting between Wellington and London was never going to be a realistic option!
His love of New Zealand and the knowledge he has built up over many years as a New Zealand specialist is something he now shares with the customers of New Zealand Vacations.
