In this episode of Behind the Big Desk, we sit down with Edward Leigh — Chair of Azure Luxury Travel and Founder of Independents Powered by Azure — to explore how he’s flipping the traditional travel model on its head. With over 30 years of leadership in both luxury and corporate travel, Edward shares how he’s putting power back in the hands of independent agents, creating a new standard of support, commercial strength, and true autonomy.

We talk leadership legacy, disrupting outdated systems, and what it really means to champion others in business. This is a must-listen for anyone ready to challenge the norm and lead with purpose.
