PUDSEY-based entrepreneur Julie Kettlewell has just returned from an all-expenses paid cruise around the Greek Islands.

She earned the trip as a reward for her exceptional work as a self-employed demonstrator for global craft company Stampin’ Up!

During the seven-night cruise, Julie got the chance to visit Santorini, Athens, Mykonos and Katakolon, as well as starting and ending the tour in the beautiful Italian city of Rome.

To earn this trip, Julie had to show exceptional achievement in sales and team development.

The arts and crafts entrepreneur became a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in 2008 and runs crafting events in her local area together with running an online business. Julie has built a sizeable team stretching across the country.

Julie said: “Earning my place on Stampin’ Up!’s annual incentive trip was such a proud moment for me and being able to enjoy a beautifully scenic cruise around the Greek islands was a fantastic reward for my efforts this year.

“Experiencing the trip with the other demonstrators was hugely motivational and reinforced the superb sense of community that Stampin’ Up! encourages. I’d like to say a massive thank you to all my customers, team and, of course, Stampin’ Up! for making the trip possible!”
