Martin Skelly

Director

I started in the travel business in a Dublin city centre travel agency in 1976 and I joined Navan Travel on January 2nd 1977.

The travel industry has been very kind to me for the past 40 years.

I have been lucky enough to water ski in the Caribbean, join game safaris in South Africa, go wine tasting in Italy, savour the fascinating delights of the Golden Triangle in India, Sail up Milford Sound in New Zealand and see Sydney Opera House and the famous Harbour Bridge from a helicopter. Throw in lunch at the CN Tower revolving restaurant in Toronto, sample the best of Spanish food on the Camino or early season skiing in Austria and you start to get a picture of why I have loved my life in travel. I have met the real Santa in Lapland and taught my sons how to body board on the French Atlantic coast. I did all this as part of my job!!! Well nearly.

My job is to help our customers turn a few week’s holidays into a lifetime of memories.

In the Irish travel industry and particularly in Travalue I am surrounded by consummate professionals who share this vision.

I was honoured to be elected President of the Irish Travel Agents Association in 2014 and proud to represent the Irish travel industry here and abroad.

Helen McCormack

Accounts Manager

I have worked in the Travel Industry since 2001.  I trained in travel and gained employment in Travalue through work placement from college.  Further training and I find myself working in Accounts in Travalue but that doesn’t stop me from indulging in my love of travel!  Over the years I have visited many destinations namely Australia, Langkawi, New York, London, Barcelona, Crete, Zakynthos, Sorrento, Lanzarote, Majorca, Salou, Disneyland Paris and I have skied in Austria.  My favourite destination would have to have been Carins in Australia.  It is like a little oasis with a gorgeous tropical climate and everyday brings a new adventure with so many amazing activities to take part in or sights to see.

Having a family now I find camping is a great option.  It’s safe and secure and ticks all the boxes for my family’s needs.

I get all the best travel advice from my colleagues so why shouldn’t you!

Diane Potter

Travel Consultant

In 2021 my love for travel led me down a new career path towards Navan Travel and Uwalk: Walking Holidays.  I lived in Malta for 10 years where I worked in hospitality management. During my time there I enjoyed meeting tourists from Ireland and all over the world while they spent their holidays exploring the Maltese Islands.My love for travel has also taken me to Athens, Rhodes, Crete, Spain, Tenerife, Sicily, Holland, Morocco, New York, Florida, my favourite holiday destination New Orleans, and a solo adventure across Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.  I also enjoy walking and hiking holidays and have been on the Camino de Santiago, and hiked in both Morocco and Scotland.I believe everyone should get the very most out of their hard earned 2 weeks off. So whether you seek sun sea and sand, a solo adventure, wellness break, or group trip... I'm happy to help.
