Steve Short
Managing Director
Steve founded Compass Holidays in 1990, before it became incorporated in February 2007. You'll often find him in the office working on bookings or heading out walking to develop new tours and checking the accuracy of our existing tours.
Steve's favourite part about running Compass Holidays is the variety; you can be checking walking or cycling routes, visiting exhibitions anywhere in the world through to office work which changes with the seasons. He truly loves all of the destinations, as they all offer something different be it the scenery or the culture but he never fails to enjoy getting back to the UK - He just loves the seasons, the greenness and the variety within such a small space!
Steve's favourite travel memory is when he went backpacking around the Greek Islands in the early 1970's. It was his first holiday abroad that wasn't a package and he just enjoyed the freedom of being able to move on as and when he wanted to. Although he did have some trouble trying to get back to the UK due to flight delays, (by 24 hours to be exact) he thoroughly enjoyed his trip and it certainly did not dampen his love of travel.
