Craig Hume
Operations Manager
Hi, I’m Craig Hume and I’m the Operations Manager at Thorne Travel Group.
I joined the Thorne Travel team in 2015, as a Digital Marketing Apprentice, undertaking a range of courses with QA in Glasgow. I then went on to successfully complete an IT and Business Management degree with Glasgow Caledonian University.
In 2022, following the acquisition of Largs Travel, I was proudly promoted to Operations Manager within the Thorne Travel Group.
As a lover of travel, I really enjoy helping our customers go from having an idea of a destination, to then travelling, and sharing their stories and photographs of their adventure with us on their return.
My favourite thing about the travel industry is that there is always something new to learn about every destination. It’s fantastic that our team gets to visit and research so many great places. This helps to ensure that our customers receive the very best advice when booking.
Favourite Places
The top destinations that I have explored so far are Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi. Both are breathtaking places in their own way, and I would love to go back and visit them again. One trip is never enough time to explore everything that these amazing cities have to offer!
Having cruised for the first time in 2021, I am currently learning more about different ships and their itineraries. I've been completely blown away by the whole cruising experience and I can’t wait to do it again.
Travel Tips
A top tip that I always recommend is rather than taking 3 or 4 travel adapters, take one travel adaptor and a UK extension cable!
Also, it is always best to book restaurants and attractions in advance. This avoids disappointment and you won’t have to stand in long queues!
