Meet the Management Team

Julia Feuell

Managing Director

Julia set up New Frontiers in 1993 with the help of Financial Director, Jim Morrissey. Julia aimed to provide an informative, results orientated service to both candidates and clients. The company has since become the market leader in its field, with an enviable database that is still growing. Along with starting her own successful company, Julia contributed to the travel industry in many different ways. She was primarily concerned at the lack of information available regarding Employment Legislation, and therefore took matters in her own hands by hosting regular HR Seminars of Legal and Recruitment topics since 1996. She also became a member of the National Advisory Committee for Travel and Tourism Courses run by City and Guilds. Julia also set up international recruitment alliances in 2000, helping New Frontiers increase its database to make it what it is today.

She is a firm believer that professional recruitment staff should have thorough and on going training in order to be successful. As such the business was awarded Investors in People. Julia has become a highly respected member of the travel and business community and was the Chairman of the Association of Women Travel Executives for 2 years in a row as well as BBC TV appearances. Most recently, she was delighted to win the prestigious Shine award for Woman Entrepreneur of the Year 2008. In her spare time, Julia enjoys spending time with her two sons and husband, developing her Tai Chi skills, learning the piano and studying nutrition.
