Rekha Kalro
Travel Manager
Why do you love Stage and Screen? I've been in the team since March 2021, and I love the travel challenges that get thrown my way. I helped on the travel for an inbound musical to New Zealand and that is one of the biggest and most complex pieces of work that I have ever done. It was also one of the most enjoyable. I learned so much about travelling in the world during COVID.
What do you customers say about you? "Your work on this project has been absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for all of your help, who’d have thought we’d be doing this kind of travel with a pandemic on our hands? You’re amazing."
Travel management tip: Using an online booking tool can help increase productivity and cost savings across your business. Giving people access to make bookings when it suits them, and an authorisation process is also a good additional step, just keeps travellers accountable for costs.

johnny boyle
business development manager
What do you love about your job?
I love meeting and building relationships with people from all sectors and industries, both locally owned and large international corporations. I love delivering customised and bespoke travel solutions to ensure travel programmes receive maximum value and ROI, and that they are simple and stress-free - as they should be!
What do you consider is your biggest strength in your role?
While many travel programmes have similarities, no two are the same! I take the time to really get to know what drives our clients, understand their category goals and objectives, and how travel impacts their own role. I then use this to tailor a travel partnership solution that not only meets but exceeds these, to allow for growth and being flexible enough to adapt to changes.
How are you supporting your customers in this new world?
There is an ocean of information out there, some of it good, some of it irrelevant, and some of it doesn't make it to those who need to see it. I support my customers by providing them with up to date and relevant information to their travel programme to be their trusted source of good information. It's also important to be supportive through an understanding of people's changing working environments with many working from home etc. - don't be shy to jump on a Zoom or Teams call with us, even if you have a pet or child in the background - we understand!
