Meet the Team

  • Linda Schulz

    Managing Director

    I've been involved with Airedale since the turn of the century when my partner, David Kettell, acquired the company, serving as shareholder and director for many years, whilst bringing up our children and creating a rather lovely art gallery. In 2018 I stepped in as MD and began running the company.

    I play an active role in our sales and marketing efforts, working closely with Danielle and consulting with our Organisers, where I particularly enjoy designing and coordinating holidays.

    Airedale is stronger than ever, with customer care and satisfaction at the heart of everything we do. I couldn't ask for a better team to help me embrace an exciting future.

  • Stephanie Shearon

    Operations and Sales Manager

    I have been with Airedale since 2018. Having over 15 years’ previous experience working in customer services has enabled me to build a great relationship with our customers and I take pride in making sure you are all looked after. I am here to answer any of your questions, and to deal with any requests you may have, together with producing rooming lists, booking flights, invoicing and all the administration that go towards your holidays. I love spending time with my husband and children, and we all love to travel!

  • Leanne Birdsworth

    Marketing Executive

    I joined Airedale Tours in March 2026 and have been getting involved in all things marketing, from supporting campaigns to helping bring ideas to life and keeping things moving day to day.

    Before that, I worked with a range of UK brands, which gave me a really good feel for different customers and what makes a great experience stand out.

    Outside of work, I’m usually out exploring the UK with my daughter and our dog Rupert, whether that’s a seaside trip, a countryside walk, or just heading somewhere new for the day. I love discovering new places, and it’s something that naturally feeds into what I do at Airedale.

  • Billie

    Chief Food Inspector

    I joined Airedale in 2022 as Chief Food Inspector, and take my role VERY seriously. You will always find me sniffing for crumbs and raw mushrooms are my only dislike. You may hear me sometimes in the background on the phone saying hello!

  • Rupert

    Chief Beach Officer

    I joined Airedale in 2026 and took on the very important role of Chief Beach Officer.

    In my role I look after reviewing the quality of UK beaches, mainly for running, ball chasing and general fun levels.

    When I'm not on duty, I like to accompany my owner Leanne to local cafes where I oversee snack quality. 

  • JM - Alton Health & Fun Club in Hampshire – Botanical / Coach

    A very big thank you to Airedale, particularly Jo, Lesley and Steph for organising a brilliant holiday to Norfolk. Everyone on the tour thoroughly enjoyed themselves and are anxious to hear news of our 2022 holiday

  • Michael Rofe - National Trust Southport & Formby Association

    One of the best things about Airedale is their personal administration service. All the worry is taken away bookings and payments are sent directly to Airedale, saving me a lot of work. The Airedale staff are always helpful, friendly and efficient, nothing is too much trouble.

  • Joan Smith

    A big thank you to you all for making it easier to organise this holiday. I have been dealing with you for over 30 years and have always been given help with queries promptly and willingly. How you manage it all I can’t imagine, but you always do an excellent job.
