Anna Roberto

I work with a wide range of production companies

Anna has worked in the travel industry for 30 years, arranging travel for the media, film, and TV production companies, where attention to detail is of paramount importance, for more than 25 years. Anna started working for the industry stalwart Uniglobe Travel under the YTS Apprenticeship scheme before they were taken over a year later by Portman Travel. Anna worked for Portman for the next few years in various roles, developing a full understanding of the corporate travel industry.

However, it was in 1999 when Anna made by far the most significant step in her career, moving to MSW Premier Travel (MSW) and dealing with clients related to films and advertising. Anna quickly fell in love with this demanding, fast-paced industry, realizing she had found the side of the travel industry where she was best suited. This is where Anna's career and reputation began to flourish. The aspect of her career that Anna is most proud of is the number of clients from the MSW years who still use her service to this day.

In 2000, MSW was acquired by Chambers Travel, who very quickly realized the excellent levels of service Anna provided to her clients and how much they valued her. So, she was very soon promoted to the Chambers Elite Team, dealing with demanding, high-profile clients and accounts where, if anything went wrong, they would come in to turn matters around and rescue the account.

However, Anna had always dreamed of owning her own business. Therefore, at the start of 2006, with the support of many of her loyal clients, Anna decided to fulfill her ambition, and thus Bertie Travel was born. Supported by Global Travel Collection, the business grew and prospered. Then came Covid-19; no world event has ever come close to causing the devastating effect that Covid-19 has had on the travel industry. As with every other travel company, the pandemic was extremely challenging for Anna, but she was able to generate enough business by diversifying into markets such as high-net-worth individuals and SME companies to keep Bertie Travel flourishing. Anna achieved this by providing the same meticulous, individual levels of service she has provided to the media and TV/Film production industries for years.
