Alex Greaves
LDN Holidays Team Leader
Alex is the overall leader of LDN Holidays and the LDN staff team. Prior to heading up LDN Holidays, Alex worked in the Civil Service across departments and jobs covering local growth, personal tax, family support, Brexit, COVID-19, and employment support – ask him about hugging or public toilets if you want to make him smile. He loved going on Christian activity holidays growing up and is excited to give the same opportunity to young people in London today.
Alex and his wife Naomi have lived in and around Shepherd’s Bush in West London since 2015. Outside of work, the early days of parenthood keep them both busy enough. (!) When the opportunity arises, Alex will take the chance to slink off to a coffee shop and indulge in some creative writing.
