Who we are

The luxury travel experts

Founded in 2005 by three friends – Tom, James and Matt – we’ve spent almost two decades creating an award-winning name for ourselves in the world of luxury travel. We owe all of this to our team; a close-knit crew who have, together, visited almost every corner of the Earth. Including Antarctica. Several times.

About Us
What we're about

a career that works for you

As a remote company, we truly understand the importance of work-life balance. There’s flexibility to work how you want, when you want – and our digital nomad policy allows you to work where you want for four weeks every year. And while we don’t have physical offices, we provide a generous co-working membership to everyone in the team. And we find plenty of opportunities to get together (be it for workshop sessions or celebratory drinks).

Our purpose

TO INSPIRE PEOPLE THROUGH
REMARKABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES

Our values

These three things keep us on course – whatever we do, and wherever in the world we find ourselves

Be
Curious

Ours is a wide, wild world

We like to ask questions. How can this be better? Where next? What's genuinely possible, and what do our clients really want? Put another way, we love questions – and we love innovators.

Be
Thoughtful

Because thinking is caring

Good things come to those who think. And, in our world, to think is to care. Not only for our clients, but for each other – and the planet that we share.

Be
Humble

Let others do the talking

We don't get carried away. We don't get caught up in the hype. We're calmly confident in what we do; graceful under pressure, proud but never arrogant about our achievements.

Meet the team

this is who we are


Sharing a genuine love of the world – and for all things travel – you can say we get on pretty well at Black Tomato. From Travel Experts to behind-the-scenes data wranglers, everybody pitches in.

And we take a humble, can-do attitude to our work; collaborating, sharing ideas, helping out, and – of course – hanging out. When we’re not at our computers – or meeting clients and partners – we like to get together and get out into the world. Just like this.
