I’m sad to announce that today I will be vacating my position for 4 months as Avis’ chief blogger. With my days of youth rapidly dwindly, I’ve decided to take a sabbatical and head off travelling before circumstances mean it’s too late. My travels will take me through Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and a couple of locations on the west side of the States. All very exciting (well for me anyway!).
I will still write on the blog from time to time to provide updates on my travels (if anyone is interested) and I’ll check up on what’s going on from time to time. In the meantime, Stephen will continue to be heavily involved with the blog as will a number of members from the Marketing team. I’d also like to introduce Chris Cox (or Coxy as I like to call him) who is our expert from our reservation centre. He’ll be on hand to answer all your booking questions.
I just want to say before I go what an absolute pleasure it’s been to work on the blog. It’s been a privilege having such a close dialogue with our customers (some who I am even now in regular email contact with). Your comments and feedback have really made a difference over the past year or so. Please keep them coming – it keeps everyone on their toes!
Finally, I just want to say how much I’ll miss all the team at Avis. They are really the best, most passionate people I could work with. Anyway enough of my garble… see you in 4 months!!

I’d just like wish you all the best on your travels Rob. Your drive, passion and determination have made it a pleasure to work with you and you will be sorely missed.
Looking forward to your safe return and hearing all the exciting stories!

Rob,
Hope you have an amazing time!
You are right in doing this before other commitments come along (don’t I know all about that…)
Thanks for all your input on the blog, helping myself and other Avis customers with all our questions, and problems. Well not all our problems, but the Avis related ones anyway…
I’m sure I speak on behalf of all the regulars here when I say we miss you already, and looking forward to your posts while you are away!
Have a safe trip!
Robert
