Meet the team

We’re proud to have built up a team of passionate travel specialists who each have extensive travel experience and really enjoy creating adventures for our customers. Each of our travel specialists has a dedicated country they focus on so you can rest assured you’re in safe hands for the duration of your booking and while you’re away.

Our product department sources all our travel experiences for you. When they’re not working closely with our local partners they’re often in the field, checking the trips we offer are up to scratch and keeping an eye out for any exciting new locations that catch their eye.

Behind the scenes, the marketing team works hard to ensure the website is inspiring and accurate while tirelessly spreading the word of our type of travel to our customers and beyond. They can also be found changing their minds about their next holiday destination each day.

Our leadership team are keen travellers too. MD, Haydn left the UK in 1984 and spent the rest of the 80s travelling around the world before returning to start up Rickshaw Travel in 2008. Lloyd is a fan of all things Asia and even sneakily eloped to Bali! Jo is too – with Cambodia being top of her list. When Vicky can drag herself away from her lovable pup, Teddy, she loves an active holiday and can often be found playing volleyball in exotic destinations. Emily has travel in her blood and loves exploring new places and making genuine connections around the world. Jennifer too – she’s been travelling for over 10 years. For her, travelling is all about unique experiences, meeting people, and stuffing her face.

Our customers are at the heart of Rickshaw. They travel the world with us, connecting with local communities, experiencing meaningful travel and loving every minute of the adventure. We love it when they share their travel diaries and photos with us on return from their trip, the whole team gets excited.
