THE DREAM

Janine

Founder & Director

A few years ago, life took me in an unexpected direction. One chapter closed, and I accidentally found myself stepping into the world of travel.

What started as a simple idea to sell travel on my own quickly grew into something much bigger than I could have imagined.

That’s how The JLT Group was born—a vibrant, down-to-earth community where people who love travel can come together without the corporate vibe. It’s a space for learning, growth, and opportunity, built with one clear mission: to make this business accessible to anyone with a passion for travel, especially those just starting out.

Our focus isn’t just on booking trips; it’s about empowering agents to grow their businesses, develop themselves, and deliver those memorable experiences to their clients. We’re here to provide the support, tools, and resources you need to succeed.

At JLT, we’re constantly moving forward, always looking for new ways to help our agents thrive. From innovative tools to fresh ideas and opportunities, we’re all about momentum—because standing still isn’t in our DNA.

The journey so far has been incredible, but the best part? There’s so much more to come. We’re excited to see where this takes not just us, but YOU, too.

Ready to join a community that’s built to help you grow and succeed? Let’s make it happen! 

Max

Director + Head of Business Growth & Operations

Max is the guy helping our business (and yours) grow smarter. Whether he’s onboarding new agents, finding new talent, upgrading our training academies, launching new tech tools, or running coaching sessions, he’s always focused on one thing: making things work better for everyone. Max brings the ideas, energy, and systems to help you hit the ground running.

Steph

Agent Success & Partnerships Manager

With 30+ years in admin and ops (and a heart of gold), Steph is our calm in the chaos. She’s the friendly face behind agent support, training, onboarding, and partnerships — keeping everything running smoothly while cheering you on. Think of her as your go-to person for questions, setups, and making life easier.

Kate

Supplier Finance & Events Manager

Kate keeps the numbers, suppliers, and payment files on point. She’s the one double-checking all the details so your bookings and our suppliers stay stress-free. Behind every smooth payment and PTS file? Probably Kate.

She also helps bring the magic to life at our big JLT events – from the Jamboree to roadshows – with her signature flair and attention to detail. If it’s fun, well-organised, and full of sparkle… Kate probably had a hand in it!

Our cruise queen! Hannah handles all things cruise accounts and supports members behind the scenes. If it sails, she knows it — and she’s here to help you ride that wave with confidence.

Chelsea

Commissions & Admin Coordinator

Chelsea is part of the magic that keeps commissions ticking and admin flowing. She’s on hand to help with back-end support so you can focus on front-end sales.

Wellbeing & SEN Support Coach

Kirsty brings a unique edge to the team, combining her experience in special educational needs with a deep passion for wellbeing. She’s here to support you when life gets busy and brains feel overloaded. Friendly, thoughtful, and always ready with a cheery note when you need it.

Matt Spencer

New Agent Development Coach

Matt is the go-to for all new agents fresh out of training. He supports each agent for their first 4 weeks — think of it as a mini probation period with extra learning, support, and encouragement before they officially graduate. From answering early questions to helping build confidence, Matt makes sure every agent starts strong and feels part of the team from day one.

Whether it’s a tricky reservation or a missing file, Tom’s the one who gets it sorted — quickly and calmly.
