Redpoint
Holidays :
The
Redpoint story began in 1992 when
Nina Hasinski, a languages graduate from Wolverhampton in the uk,
came to Austria to work as a ski rep. Arriving in the little-known
Austrian resort of Fugen in Zillertal for the first time, she was
shown around by the English-speaking instructors who were working
for the local ski school and who were responsible for teaching her
clients. One of the instructors was Greg Moffatt, a New Zealander
who had visions of starting up his own adventure sports business similar
to those springing up in New Zealand at the time. After working together
for two winter seasons, Greg and Nina, together with a couple of their
ski-instructor friends Mark and Dagmar, decided that they could look
after their customers better by setting up on their own. In 1995,
Redpoint Travel was born. The first brochure was produced and a few
guests, mainly contacts from previous years, arrived for their ski
holidays. Unlike most Tour Operators, who send a rep to the resort,
Nina and Greg based themselves in the resort, looking after their
customers and using their local knowledge and skiing expertise to
make sure their customers had the best possible care and the most
fun! By 1997 it became clear that Mark and Dagmar
had other plans and wanted to move to America. Nina and Greg were
keen to continue what they’d started and changed their company
to Redpoint Holidays Ltd, keeping their customer base. The company
grew and a summer programme was soon started, offering river rafting,
kayaking, paragliding, walking and mountain biking. By the year 2000,
Sue Turner joined the team to run the UK Office, giving customers
a specialist UK contact, who they could call to discuss their holiday
arrangements. Due to so many returning guests, the winter season has
grown steadily. Sara Jones and Steve Smaje have joined the winter
resort team to ensure that the customer service in resort remains
as good as it was when our first guests arrived. Now celebrating our
10th Winter Season, we know that without our loyal guests our story
would have been quite different. So on behalf of all of us at Redpoint,
it is my pleasure to express our heartfelt thanks to every one of
you. |
