1000MTG celebrates record-breaking year and announces Australian top achievers

1000 Mile Travel Group (1000MTG) is proud to celebrate an exceptional year of growth, performance, and community across its global network of independent travel advisors.

This year, 20% of our Australian advisors achieved over $4 million in sales, a remarkable increase from the previous financial year and a testament to the strength, resilience, and dedication of our advisor network.

“FY25 has been a defining year for our business. These results demonstrate not only the commercial success of our advisors but also the power of a supportive, flexible, and future-focused model. We’re building something truly special at 1000MTG—and it’s our advisors who are leading the way,” said Nicola Veltman, 1000MTG CEO.

1000MTG is thrilled to announce the top performers for FY25 across corporate, leisure, team, and rising star categories. With incredibly close results in both corporate and leisure segments, these advisors exemplify the very best of our network:

With over 20 years of experience in the industry, Sam Rowe has proven why he’s a standout in SME corporate travel. As this year’s Top Corporate Expert, Sam’s strategic insight, dedication to his clients, and consistently strong performance have earned him well-deserved recognition.

In an incredibly close race, longstanding travel expert Kurt Hufer emerged as our Top Leisure Expert thanks to the high-end leisure portion and sports focus of his business. His commitment to service, deep destination knowledge, and impressive business growth set him apart this year.

The Travel Team, led by Emily Davidson and Stephanie McDonald, took home the title of Top Team for FY25. Their outstanding collaboration, client-focused mindset, and commercial success made them a standout duo across the 1000MTG global network.

After joining 1000MTG just over a year ago, Ben Jenke earned the well-deserved title of Rising Star. With strong sales results, a proactive approach, and a clear commitment to growing his business, Ben’s momentum has been truly impressive—and shows no signs of slowing down.

Amy Crossland was awarded the title of Most Engaged Expert for her exceptional contribution to the 1000MTG community. Since joining the network, Amy has gone above and beyond—delivering self-ticketing and Sabre training to fellow advisors, which has helped boost their confidence and independence in booking workflows.

“This year’s results are not only impressive, they reflect the quality and professionalism of our advisor community,” said Lauren Gray, 1000MTG General Manager – Australia. “To see such strong performance from both long-established and new advisors shows that our model is working, our support is meaningful, and our network is thriving. We’re incredibly proud of what our Australian team has accomplished this year.”

We are delighted to reward the top performers with an exclusive Top Achievers Trip to New Zealand in October 2025, proudly supported by our partners Air New Zealand, Rosewood Kauri Cliffs in Northland, and Horizon by SkyCity in Auckland. This luxurious trip is a celebration of their achievements and a well-deserved opportunity to relax and connect with fellow high performers.

Please join us in congratulating all of our winners and every advisor who contributed to such a successful FY25. We are proud to support a growing network of high-performing travel professionals—and with the momentum we’ve built this year, we’re ready to make FY26 our biggest year yet.
