CRC People
CRC People have a solid mix of HR & Travel Industry background. They are involved in a number of Tourism activities and committees. The CRC team is a good example of skill mix and balance and while each has their own areas of responsibility, any one of us can help you when you call.
Cliodhna Rae (Managing Director), the founder and Managing Director established CRC in 1981. With a background of 25 years in the Travel Industry combined with qualifications in Psychology, Business Admin and HR, she recognized the need for a Tourism & Hospitality focused Training & Recruitment company. Cliodhna is active in a number of industry associations, a State Award Judge, is a member of the Industry Training Board for the past 10 years, a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Travel & Tourism and former President of SKAL International Melbourne.
Richard Kellaway (General Manager) joined the team at CRC Travel Locum with a strong background in travel, sales and general recruitment. With qualifications in general business and specifically in recruitment, he has managed the Permanent Recruitment Division at CRC since 1996. During this time he has recruited literally hundreds of travel consultants for the retail, corporate and airline industry. In line with the CRC philosophy, Richard has been a Judge at the AFTA State Travel Industry Awards and is a regular presenter at career seminars. Richards industry involvement includes active member of SKAL International, Executive Director of HSMA and previous Vice President of Travel League Victoria.
Sally Hitchcock (Manager) Running our Caretaker Division is always interesting, so when Sandra Delaney, the Divisional Manager "retired" to have child number 2, we searched far and wide for a suitable replacement. As often happens, the solution was right under our noses! Sally had been well known to us through her Secretariat responsibilities with H.S.M.A and with M.E.A, so her knowledge of the Hotel/Motel sector was already developed! Her knowledge of the Self Storage industry was basic, but she has taken to the role like the proverbial duck-to-water. Her administrative and customer-care skills are second to none, and so far has proved completely unflappable!! We will keep testing her though - don’t worry about that!
Helen Bell (Administration Manager) has a solid background in the Travel Industry having worked for International airlines for 20 years. Helen joined CRC Travel Locum 13 years ago having worked in Australia and United States.
Eva Alwora (Accounts Manager) Picture in your mind, your traditional, conservative, accountant-slash-bookkeeper. Now picture the complete opposite image - and you go some way to imagining our wonderful Eva! Born and educated in Kenya, Eva is about to finish her Bachelor of Commerce Degree and working three jobs in her spare time. She is larger than life, bombastic and outrageous, and completely invaluable to our operations. Sometimes we wonder how we operated without her!
Diane Lamb (Administration Co-ordinator). We are really pleased to have Diane join the team and not only because, being born in Dublin she adds yet another Irish connection to the firm but because she brings a wide range of industry experience to us. She has worked with STA Travel, Adventure World and for the last 7 years at Qantas in Business Travel and at the Airport.
Diane will be working across all departments, controlling our significant on-line presence, ensuring the integrity of our valuable database and generally keeping the consultants on their toes!
Annette Ready (Recruitment Manager). If you don’t know Annette - you have a treat ahead of you! We think Annette was born to work in travel recruiting, with her extensive (20 years would you believe!) travel industry experience in retail and corporate travel and senior sales roles with Galileo, there is nothing she doesn’t know about the industry. After working most recently as one of our Senior Temps we were able to observe her abilities at close range, and had no hesitation in approaching her when an opportunity came up. She has a contagious personality and a warm nurturing style that candidates just love!
