Tim Riley

In partnership with AXA, True Traveller is probably best known for covering adventure travellers and backpackers. Tim started working for Trailfinders in the 1980s, remaining in the tailor-made part of the travel industry until 2010, where he was Operations Director of TUI Travel Specialist Division, looking after the Austravel, Travelmood and Trips Worldwide brands. Tim still thinks of himself as a ‘travelman’ rather than a travel insurance person, but has the advantage of working at senior levels with tour operators and now insurance.
