With annual revenues of over £100 million, and over 1,700 team members employed within the group, Xeinadin is led by locally forged, trusted relationships and supported by the innovative data-driven technology, leading industry expertise, centralised back office support and power of a collaborative national group.

Vicki Woods

Finance Director, Mac’s Adventure

My first travel summit, hopefully not my last. Thought-provoking and entertaining speakers and an excellent networking opportunity. An informative and very enjoyable day - thank you

Andy Patton

Director, Cycle Breaks

An excellent event, great for networking and meeting senior people from the travel industry. Good quality and engaging content, entertaining and well worthwhile investing the time.

Gary Jacobs

Founder, Spinning Globe

Thanks for a stimulating day with a wide range of speakers and topics, plenty of time for networking and the opportunity to step outside the box for a day with fellow directors from different sectors of the travel industry - invaluable and a rare treat.

Catherine Leech

Director & Co-founder, 101 Holidays

The Elman Wall Summit has continued to exceed expectations and deliver a thoroughly engaging day. I enjoyed meeting new and old contacts and listening to industry views from an experienced panel. A lot of food for thought to take home.

Gavin Pereira

Managing Director, Check-in-London

Thanks for another great Zoominar. Over the last 6 months your sessions really have been the best out there, I don’t think many can boast keeping people engaged for 3.5hrs. Well done to all involved.

Chris Wright

Managing Director, Sunvil

What an excellent event this was, bringing together such a widespread cross-section of the industry. It was really interesting, informative, and thought-provoking, and all the participants spoke with great passion and integrity. [...] It is so encouraging to know how much mutual support there is within the industry and to have the opportunity to discuss how we can all work together.

Richard Visick

Operations Director, Snow-Wise

…thanks very much for the hard work of you and your team in putting these events on for the industry.

Matt Warren

Director, Travel Places

Thanks so much to all the team, not just for these webinars but for all of the other ongoing support!

Lindsay Gregory

Managing Director, The Luxury Villa Collection

Necessity is the mother of invention - and the fact that a private sector accountant is the go-to Zoom and webinar taking place throughout the crisis with the most useful pan-industry collection of views and presentations talks volumes as to the fragmented nature of the sector with competing alignments and conflicts of interests. Well done EW filling the void.

Jeremy Snelling

Business Development Director, Revealed Travel

We have used Elman Wall for the last 7 years. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We have no hesitation in recommending them.

Deborah Barnett

Managing Director, Essential Escapes

The staff at Elman Wall are just great. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them. They are extremely professional, but very friendly, at the same time. They have quickly become our first port of call for many and varied pieces of advice. They are always happy to search out their passports, risk brigands (and sheep!), and travel to sunny Shropshire!

Keith Sharkey

Former Chairman, Halsbury Travel Group

My experience of Elman Wall prior to joining you as an Audit client was that you demonstrated good customer relations and communication. Since becoming a client those relations have moved up two more notches and I am looking forward to dealing with you all for a very long time! I wish to goodness I had taken you on as auditors 2 years ago.... “Big mistake....big mistake...huge!!!!”

George Ross

Former Owner, In2action Limited

We moved to Elman Wall from a smaller, non-specialist accountancy firm because our business has grown over the last 15 years and we wanted experts that could help us in all manners of travel-related accounting. We have a great relationship with Ian, he works very closely with us and I also like the fact that you do my personal tax, which makes it easy for me... everything's in one place.

Jonny Bealby
