My special guest is Jane Mack, a holiday let coach and consultant with a fascinating journey. Jane and her husband bought a holiday home property management company back in 2010, and decided to expand it to offer advertising and bookings. By 2012 they had created a full blown holiday letting agency. Their business continued to grow until they sold it to the UK’s largest holiday letting company in 2017. Having managed over 100 holiday properties, thousands of guests and with 10 years of hands-on experience, she decided to help others in the holiday let industry to grow their businesses, just as she had done.
