Meet StagWeb's Destination Experts
What is a Destination Expert?
Each one of our Destination Experts are in charge of a range of incredible stag cities. They live and breathe each one to make sure they're across all the latest and greatest stag offerings and frequently visit their destinations to make sure they're up to scratch.

Part of our stag planning squad since 2015, Tom looks after some of our best destinations including Amsterdam, Budapest, Cardiff and the UK stag capital - Bristol.
