MEET OUR TEAM

Diana Brighton

Events Manager

Diana joined Cultural Breaks at its inception in 2008. With her keen interest in British history, her writing skills and love of music and the arts, it is no surprise that Diana was delighted to accept the position of Events Manager. With a passion for travel both overseas and in ‘this green and pleasant land’, she enjoys creating our holiday itineraries. She delights in finding places to visit and writing about them because, she says, creating the brochures is very nearly as exciting as being there.

Jackie Harrison

Events Co-ordinator

Jackie has been an invaluable asset to Cultural Breaks since she joined the team in 2013. Her friendly, helpful disposition makes her popular with everyone she speaks to. Her many duties include taking holiday bookings, setting up new members’ free membership and renewals for existing members, organising refreshment and lunch stops during tours and arranging door to door cars to chauffeur members from their home to and from the holiday departure point.

Dave Roberts

IT & Design

As IT Manager, Dave is responsible for all activities related to computers including the design and management of our website and with his knowledge of design principles he produces all Cultural Breaks’ holiday brochures and magazine advertisements. When not busy working Dave loves to spend time with his two young sons, enjoying football, fun in the countryside and trying to keep them out of mischief during visits to castles and other exciting places. 

June Walden

Tour Manager

June was a secretary in the UK and Sweden, Tour Manager for Epsom Racecourse Derby Day Experience Tours and District Sales Advisor for the Ambassador Theatre Group before joining Cultural Breaks in 2008. She assists with booking and monitoring hotels, theatre tickets and other activities as well as accompanying holidays in her role as Tour Manager. With great sense of fun and a passion for people, theatre and travel, June thoroughly enjoys working with Cultural Breaks.

Pauline & Jim Gibbons

Tour Manager

Pauline, accompanied by her husband Jim, enjoy being part of the Cultural Breaks team, always looking forward to leading our many interesting and varied trips. They have a passion for seeing new places, as well as old favourites, visiting concerts, theatres and museums alongside our members, with whom they are very popular. Nothing is too much trouble for this couple, who take great pleasure in helping everyone make the most out of their holidays.
