about us

Rocket is a network of talented, energetic and like-minded individuals with a shared passion for travel. Wanderlust drives our desire to see more of the world and, more importantly, share it with others.

We've travelled extensively and are never happier than when we have our passports in hand.

MARK MEREDITH

Prior to founding Rocket, Mark spent four years heading up Visit California's travel trade team in the UK & Ireland. During his tenure, he spearheaded the DMO's global luxury initiative in Europe, launched an all-new online training program, developed innovative strategic frameworks and delivered hugely popular trade engagement platforms. He was also proud to collect a number of awards on behalf of the Golden State, including a Travel Weekly Globe for 'Best Tourist Board' in 2018.

A former tour operator with over 20 years experience in senior product, commercial and marketing roles, Mark has conceptualised and delivered market-leading products, award-winning programs and standout events the world over.
