This week on Founder & Family, I’m joined by Sandra Corkin and Scott McCabe of Oasis Travel one of Northern Ireland’s most recognised family businesses.

What started over 40 years ago as a passion for travel has grown into a multi-award-winning brand with eight offices, a team of 60, and customers who’ve travelled with them for decades.

But this episode goes far beyond holidays and destinations.

We talk about the reality of building a long-term business as a family, the pressure of stepping into leadership, how the travel industry has evolved through uncertainty, and what it takes to modernise a legacy brand without losing what made it special in the first place.

We also get into:

• Working with family without damaging relationships
• Letting go of control
• Navigating uncertainty in travel
• Leadership across generations
• Standards, reputation and customer trust
• The emotional side of succession in business
• Why people still value human connection in an increasingly digital world

A really honest conversation about business, resilience, and what it means to build something that lasts.
