As we approach the end of a month of celebrating the 25th anniversary of Principal Business Travel, we shine our final ‘Spotlight’ on our founder and all-round star, Ingrid Sanderson. Since establishing the company in 1999, Ingrid has been the driving force behind a travel management firm that places clients and staff at the heart of everything we do. Her unwavering commitment to 100% customer service has been the cornerstone of our success, making her an indispensable leader and mentor.
Ingrid’s ethos of treating every traveller as if they were her own has created a culture of care and loyalty within the company. Beyond her travel roots, Ingrid has expanded into business coaching, where she shares her invaluable knowledge and experience with aspiring entrepreneurs. Drawing from decades of leadership, she now helps others navigate the complexities of running a successful business, just as she has done for the past 25 years.
What drives Ingrid is her deeply personal ‘WHY’ – her dedication to her business and mentoring others is inspired by her family. Ingrid’s passion stems from her desire to give her two boys not only extraordinary travel experiences while growing up but also a world of opportunities and essential life tools to take forward into their own careers and life choices. Her enormous sense of pride comes from building a successful business, all while raising her boys to understand the value of hard work, dedication and success – not to mention the boundless possibilities and adventures that travel itself can offer!
As we celebrate this milestone, we recognise that Ingrid’s journey is about more than business achievement—it’s about family, pride, and the relationships she’s built along the way – a true one-woman success story. We salute you @IngridSanderson
