Working together on air and in the community

We’re proud to partner with Now Ayrshire Radio, a station for the local community and home to a wide mix of shows and features. Thorne Travel appears on their partners page, and we’ve joined their programmes to talk travel and share updates.

Our CEO, Shona Thorne, appeared on the Ayrshire Insights programme to chat about running a trusted agency, serving local customers and trends in travel. You can listen on Podbean or Audible.

Our Cruise Director, John Ferguson, has also been on air to talk cruising and share practical tips from recent sailings. (Want to learn more about John? meet him on our team page)
