About Paul Upton

Delivering better experiences for businesses who need to get their people moving by focussing on delivering expert transport solutions across the UK and Europe.| Bespoke Transport | Time Saving | Transport Consultancy | Meeting & Events I was made redundant during the first lockdown and finding myself unemployed for the first time in my life gave me the opportunity to reflect on my career and re-focus my mind on what I'd like to do next. Working with FTS and bringing my travel industry experience to the team is an exciting next step in my journey. In the past I have run a bespoke online booking tool solely for SMEs (small & medium enterprise businesses) and within 18 months of promoting it through networking, I grew revenue generated from £300k to £1.7m. This booking tool is still being used by LNER today. I also developed a bespoke VIP service where customers could reserve an entire first class train carriage for their sole use. Notable customers have been West Ham United, Sunderland AFC, Team GB men’s football team. This VIP service is still available on LNER. My knowledge of how to create these bespoke products will support our clients at First Travel Solutions. I am proud of my ability to build real relationships that are meaningful and straight forward. When you see Sales Manager you think jargon and pressure! I am here to change that perception. Down to earth but plenty of energy to solve solutions for your business. I don’t do average – I want to be the best and deliver the best. At First Travel Solutions we do not sell off the shelf solutions – we are all about expert, bespoke solutions for our individual customers.

And to wrap it up – I believe you should say what you mean and mean what you say! So why not challenge me to deliver a bespoke travel solution for your business?
