Sports Abroad is managed by Olympic swimming finalist and Commonwealth Games medallist Steven Mellor. Steven brings a wealth of experience to the business having represented Great Britain for almost 15 years, travelling throughout the world to attend training camps and competitions.
Since retiring from elite sport Steven has worked within the travel industry. He developed his knowledge of the industry as a manager with the largest independent travel agent in the UK. Here he was involved in organising overseas travel for players and spectators of a number of professional football teams including Manchester United, Glasgow Rangers and Middlesbrough. Following this appointment, Steven launched Sports Abroad Limited.
 | "Launching Sports Abroad has provided me with a great opportunity to help groups organise all of their travel requirements and to take away the hassle of arranging their own training camps.
Having personally attended numerous training camps as a swimmer myself I feel that Sports Abroad can offer greater advice and expertise, ensuring that teams have all the information necessary for an enjoyable and successful training camp".
