Caroline Haynes

Team Manager - Business Travel

Caroline started working in the travel industry 12 years ago, and after a few years, made the decision to get the best out of the industry and travel around the world. After travelling extensively to many continents, Caroline came back with the intentions of harnessing her newly expanded cultural understanding into her work. As an experiment to try something new, Caroline briefly worked in High Street Recruitment, however found herself missing the work and people involved in the travel industry. Her next step was to revert back to her original passion and has since been a part of New Frontiers for six years, working her way up to Business Travel Team Manager.

Outside the office, Caroline likes to stay busy juggling an active and buzzing social life with her thriving career. She relieves her stress in the gym where she regularly attends body combat, spinning and body pump classes.
