Dave Strange

His love for the Flight Centre ethics and philosophies, exceptional drive and his determination to see every staff member succeed beyond their wildest dreams are the key features that Dave Strange brings to the role of Product Nation Leader for the Flight Centre group.

Dave began his Flight Centre career in 1998 after travelling the world as a professional tennis coach. With the travel bug firmly entrenched a career in travel beckoned after he answered a recruitment advert in The Guardian. And the rest, as they say, is history.

A carefully crafted career path saw Dave rise through the ranks from consultant to team leader to area leader for the London region. Success breeds success and Dave won the United Kingdom's top consultant three times over and the Flight Centre Top Global consultant award.

He has also taken all the stores under his management to high levels of success. Dave is married to Kim, a South African, and grabbed the opportunity to move here in 2006, taking over the role of area leader for the Kwazulu Natal region. His natural 'gift of the gab' and his passion for bringing top notch travel products to the retail staff and Flight Centre's clients meant a natural progression to Product Nation leader in 2009.

His aim is to bring retail focussed product to the coal-face of all of Flight Centre's brands. When not in the office Dave spends his time in the gym or babysitting the newest Strange family member – little Jack. And planning his next move up the Flight Centre corporate ladder.
