Claudia Rossi Hudson - MBA, TM
Managing Director
Claudia joined her successful mother, Mary Rossi, in the business whilst still at university in the 1970's. She quickly became proficient at all aspects of organising both itineraries for individuals and groups. Escorting Mary Rossi Travel tours to Europe and the Middle East re-enforced the importance of thoughtful planning and attention to detail.
Claudia had a change of career in the 1990s and became a financial planner, managing a team of talented professionals in a highly respected firm. She returned in 2000 to the top job at Mary Rossi Travel.
Her passion for travel was probably in the blood and it has been suitably indulged over many decades of fine touring, active journeys and family holidays. Enthusiasm for a great client experience from the moment planning begins keeps Claudia focused at the helm of Mary Rossi Travel.
Roger Hudson - B.Ec
Director
Roger’s early training in Economics - Accounting/Management Consulting was an excellent foundation for a career in his family businesses.
He was instrumental in developing the A. Hudson (that's 'Udson with a 'aitch) retail timber and hardware stores in Sydney which he ran for many years.
After 26 years in the timber industry Roger changed course, and now spends most of his time at Mary Rossi Travel which he owns with his wife, Claudia. Never happier than with a project in hand, whether it's the new computer system, the client newsletter or the next trip, Roger makes things happen at Mary Rossi Travel.
