Who we are

Anju Tomy is an accessible travel professional, entrepreneur, and finance specialist who believes that travel should be a possibility for everyone, regardless of age or disability.

Her journey in inclusive tourism includes working with Koloko Travels and Planet Abled, where she gained first-hand experience in creating meaningful travel experiences for people with disabilities. These experiences shaped her passion for making travel more accessible, comfortable, and empowering.

Anju holds a Masters in International Finance and Business from De Montfort University, Leicester, UK, and brings over 12 years of experience in accounting and finance. As a Board Member of Accessible Travel Press, she contributes her financial expertise to support the organisation’s mission and growth.

She also runs her own travel company, dedicated to creating better and more personalised travel experiences for disabled and elderly travellers. Through her work, Anju hopes to help build a world where accessibility is not an extra feature in travel, but a fundamental part of the experience.

‘If travel was free, you would never see me again‘

Whether in Amsterdam where the Accessible Travel Foundation is based, or abroad, the existing problem causing the absence of (great) accessibility is the lack of bridges. Marlies became a bridge builder.
Distance of the gap you need to cross, building material, how to use it and how to make sure it is safe. Starting with a new way of thinking, it all matters equally.

For 28 years, Jenny has built a global career in the corporate sector, holding senior international roles across Automotive, Connected Products and Services, and global project management.

Her career includes serving as Global Commercial Director at Pirelli Connected Tyre Division and as a Principal Consultant, where she oversaw board meetings for leading organisations including Ferrari, Maserati and Illy. She has worked with some of the world’s most recognised brands, including Aston Martin and Jaguar Land Rover, specialising in global project delivery and go-to-market strategies, with a strong ability to connect different cultures, markets, businesses and people.

Her experience of recovering from a stroke, including navigating communication, mobility and travel, has given her a first-hand understanding of the barriers people can face and the importance of designing travel around people, rather than expecting people to adapt to the system.

As a Board Member of Accessible Travel, Jenny will lead the development of the outdoor adventure section, bringing together her corporate experience, international perspective and lived experience to help make adventure and travel more accessible to everyone.

is a socially-engaged entrepreneur, with over 30 years experience as a Mobility Instructor and Disability advocate. Since founding his company in 2011, Gavin has addressed the challenges faced by disabled people with innovative tech solutions. 

Gavin’s aim is to end ‘arrival anxiety’ for both disabled people and those working in customer service. He envisaged and developed WelcoMe a web-based tool that disabled people can use to share their access and communication needs before arrival. 
The tool supports businesses with enhanced communication and instant training. WelcoMe functions in the space between traditional training and the point of delivery and empowers all through proximity based knowledge.

Gavin is and has been a full time Digital Nomad for three years where he combines his work with his love of travel living equally between house sitting and his motorhome.
