Joanna Lumley revealed as Travel Counsellors’ guest speaker
Actress and travel presenter Joanna Lumley has been revealed as this year’s guest speaker at Travel Counsellors’ annual conference.
The ‘Ab Fab’ star will share her insights on how to build and manage a personal brand as well as highlights of her career spanning 48 years as a photographic model, actress, author, activist and subsequent TV host.
Lumley, who charmed the audience when she was a guest speaker at the Advantage Travel conference in 2013, recently filmed a three-part documentary on India.
"Travel has been a constant source of inspiration throughout my life and career; I have been fortunate enough to make documentaries whilst seeing the world," she said. "I’m immensely looking forward to spending time at Travel Counsellors’ Annual Conference, meeting likeminded people who run their own businesses and share my passion for truly authentic and cultural travel experiences."
The two-day conference, which will be held at Manchester Central November 10, promises to be Travel Counsellor’s biggest conference yet, with over 1,500 delegates signed up to attend.
