Leisure & Sports Accommodation (LSA)
LSA has built itself into the UK’s leading specialist provider of travel & hospitality services for Formula One professionals and fans.
Driven by a passion for delivering clients the highest possible level of service, we deliver accommodation, race tickets and hospitality packages to motorsport teams, media, sponsors and guests through the Formula One Grand Prix season. In addition, we also create bespoke events and tailored packages for MotoGP, Formula E and Goodwood.
Our small, multilingual, friendly team provides a personal and professional service, using their unrivalled knowledge and experience of Formula One to find travel and hospitality packages that cater for every budget.
LSA is the go-to travel provider for photographic agencies, the media and sponsors. Alongside this, we also utilise our long-standing expertise in Formula One to work below-the-line assisting larger agencies.
LSA is run by highly experienced travel consultants Lauren Barker & Katie O’Connor-Mitchell, who both share a lifelong passion for motorsport.
Travel Consultants
Lauren has specialised in delivering travel services to Formula One professionals and fans for nearly 20 years and joined LSA straight after she completed her degree in Travel and Tourism.
Drawing on her extensive experience of Formula One, she understands the demands of simultaneously working across multiple events across time zones and prides herself on delivering great results under pressure. Over this time, she has also built up a huge range of strong personal relationships with suppliers in key race locations to help deliver LSA clients an unforgettable experience.
Alongside travel and accommodation, Lauren also loves to develop tailor-made hospitality packages for clients drawing on her in-depth knowledge of race locations around the world. She finds nothing more rewarding than hearing feedback from LSA clients on how much they’ve enjoyed their experience.
A qualified user of SAGE accounting software, Lauren also oversees all financial operations for LSA.
Katie has been a passionate fan of Formula One and motorsports her entire life. She first visited Silverstone aged just four and later lived with her family in Italy where her father worked for Formula One team Ferrari.
Katie joined LSA straight after completing her degree in Spanish and Italian. She loves to use her language skills and unrivalled network of contacts as LSA’s point of contact with travel partners around the world to deliver an outstanding service to LSA’s clients.
As passionate about travel as she is about motorsport, Katie has visited virtually every Formula One race location at least once and harnesses her knowledge and experience to create unforgettable packages for LSA customers.
In addition to her work at LSA, she has also worked on a freelance basis for a number of clients including Martini, LG, Pirelli, Honda & Deutsche Bank.
