the team

Tim Fenner, Financial Director, is a qualified accountant and involved in a number of successful business ventures including several in the medical and health sectors. His current portfolio includes an injury prevention and rehabilitation specialist (IPRS); a travel agent specialising in medical repatriations (TAI); and, most recently, a safari and game lodge in South Africa, with conference and rehabilitation facilities (Lalibela).

Alida Benton, Managing Director, has 20 years' experience in the travel and medical industries.

Her aviation career started in operations flight planning and reservations. After taking a career break to start a family, Alida worked for a number of specialist medical repatriation companies and travel assistance organisations - but still found time to train as a midwife.

While working for an assistance company, Alida realised how difficult it was to service her employer's clients with a competent service provider able or qualified to offer international transfer of intermediate and high level medical care. She decided to utilise her unique skills within the travel, aviation and medical industries in order to fill this gap in the market herself.
