Background History - The Bridge family have been successfully involved in the travel industry for over 60 years.  In 1949 Walter Bridge set up the Bridge Travel Group selling holidays to Europe through sub brands such as Swiss and Paris Travel Service. Jerry Bridge, on the other hand took on the long haul market after a two year stint travelling the world and three years at Trailfinders Travel Centre during the mid 80's. Even since establishing Bridge the World in 1988 and later in 2004, Bridge & Wickers, Jerry says, ''the business of  how and when people make their bookings nowadays has changed beyond recognition. All I want to do is simplify this process especially for people who have not got hours of spare time researching the web and who do not wish to take a gamble about who they should book their holiday with.''  

NOTE TO EDITORS: Jerry Bridge started off his career in 1985 when he worked for Trailfinders.  He then went on to set up Bridge the World in 1988 before merging it with Travelbag and selling it to e-bookers. In 2004 he set up Bridge and Wickers, selling it to the Ultimate Travel Company in 2012.  World Travel With Bridge is his latest venture, launched in 2013.
