Chat to me... Matthew Pack - Web and Marketing Director - Holiday Extras

The son of Holiday Extras' founder and Non-Executive Chairman, Gerry Pack, Matthew says that even at college he was busy working on software for Holiday Extras.

After studying at Cambridge Business College for a Diploma in Business from Oxford University, Matthew graduated from Bournemouth University with a BSc in Information Systems Management.

While at university he did a placement with British Airways to widen his experience in the travel business. Following a year travelling round the world, Matthew's first job was as technical project manager for one of the pioneers of the online travel revolution, Lastminute.com.

Then after another period travelling - this time in Central America where he learnt Spanish - Matthew started working part-time for Holiday Extras as a consultant in 2002, combining this with consulting work for a telecoms company in Maidstone.

With his background in information systems and first hand experience of travelling the world, Matthew has been the perfect person to develop Holiday Extras' increasingly important web business. He has been responsible for building the systems and web team that now makes a significant contribution to the company's turnover, as well as winning several industry awards. Matthew became a director of Holiday Extras in 2005 and was part of the team that led the management buyout of the company that year.

As Web and Marketing Director, Matthew says that his role is to represent the customer at Holiday Extras and to ensure that customers have a rewarding experience. When he is not in the office, Matthew can be found windsurfing or teaching others how to enjoy the sport - CEO Steve Lawrence is one of his pupils.

He also enjoys snowboarding and skiing, and says that he can just about play golf. Matthew is married to Amanda and they have a daughter called Emily.
