WHO WE ARE

Campbell Bevan (Cam)

Managing Director, and Founder of www.AmazingAccom.com

I am the entrepreneur of Amazing Accom. I started Amazing Accom as I own holiday homes that needed a good ROI to justify holding onto them. When I looked into the websites that were and are currently online I identified many key issues and solutions to these issues that I successfully launched Amazing Accom. Amazing Accom now leads the New Zealand market in providing holiday renters with instant solutions, and home owners/accommodation providers with the best possible protection and automation of management systems.

I live in Wellington with my wife Valeria and my four children. I love life, travel, outdoor sports and recreation, family and friends, and have time for anyone that cares. Please feel free to contact me anytime to discuss anything - cam@AmazingAccom.com

I am also one of the four Board of Directors for Amazing Accom and a major shareholder.

Valeria Bevan (Valika)

Customer Support Manager of www.AmazingAccom.com

I am in charge of all the customers bookings, and support for any issues and changes that need to be dealt with. I also manage the back end of Amazing Accom including all owner payments.

I love helping people and pride myself on being able to do this in a professional and timely manner. If you need any help and have any customer support related issues or questions please contact me - valika@AmazingAccom.com

I am married to the Boss (Cam) and we are a great team along with Kristen. Together we all help each other and our customers come first.

I have four kids and a few holiday homes to manage so life is busy for us. I love living in New Zealand and as a foreigner think its the best place in the world. I enjoy the outdoors, travel, reading, and family life.

Kristen Jackson

I am the Sales and Account Manager here at Amazing Accom. I love working with niche products and being part of something that is different from the mainstream. I am here to answer any of your questions and to help you list and manage your property/accommodations online, so please call or email me any time - kristen@AmazingAccom.com

I have over 4 years experience in the travel industry as a Senior Travel Consultant, previously working for Adventure Travel in Wellington, where I achieved Bronze and Silver awards for sales over $1 million and $1.2 million respectively. I have 7 years personal overseas travel experiences, having left New Zealand on my OE and almost forgetting to return! But I am glad I did as I love New Zealand and cannot think of a better place to live. I love travel, reading a good book and life in general. I live in Wellington with (some would say) my better half Ross.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Peter Barlow (Pete)

I am a shareholder and one of four Board of Directors for Amazing Accom. I am also one of the directors of Williment Travel Group and have 30 years of travel industry experience. My career began in 1978 at the Government Tourist Bureau, and in 1987 I founded the corporate travel management company, Barlow Associates, which later became BTI Barlow NZ, partner of the global BTI group. I sold the company in 2001.

I am a member of the New Zealand Institute of Travel, and serve as the President of TAANZ (Travel Agents Association of New Zealand). I also sit on the Board of WTAAA (World Travel Agents Association Alliance).

Aside from my business interests, I am a keen sports enthusiast, particularly golf and rugby. My achievements include playing representative rugby for the Wellington NPC team from 1983 to 1986 inclusive, and was an All Black trialist in 1985. I am married to Liarne and we have two boys, Luca and Toby.

This diversity and broad involvement across the fundamental elements of business has provided me the opportunity to foster a strong commercial acumen and acquire an intimate knowledge of the industry dynamics in both the New Zealand and international markets. All of which places me in good stead for my current role as Chief Executive of Williment Travel Group. In addition to various industry qualifications, I attained a Master of Business Administration in 2002.
