About Us

Alistair McCabe

Alistair is the son of a missionary and was born in Dr Graham's Homes in Kalimpong. After graduating as a Social Worker, Alistair's first job was with the Church of Scotland beside the Sea of Galilee which led to a period managing Inter Church Travel. Almost 25 years ago he founded McCabe Pilgrimages. Alistair is Managing Director and will shortly be producing a programme to the Oberammergau Passion Play for the third time.

Rosemary Nutt

Rosemary is the other working Director of McCabe and shares the running of the company with Alistair. Rosemary is a music graduate and has a background in pilgrimage as her father was a Director of Inter Church Travel when Alistair was an employee. Rosemary has been with the company 15 years and as well as being responsible for our Operations and Accounts, is our expert on Italy with a great love for the less frequented destinations of Armenia, Georgia and Russia.

Andy Webster

Andy is the third part of the triumvirate running McCabe and has a degree in Film Appreciation from Warwick University. Like Alistair and Rosemary, he has spent most of his career working with pilgrims. After a number of years at Orientours, Andy joined McCabe as our Groups Manager 15 years ago. Andy is an expert in Israel / Palestine and spends many of his own holidays in the Middle East. He regularly conducts our leaders' training tours.

Lynne McCabe

has a French degree from Warwick University, where she studied alongside Andy. Before starting a family with Alistair, she had a career in Public Relations and Marketing. Now she divides her time between office and family responsibilities.

Letty Butler

has a degree in Politics and Sociology from Staffordshire University and began her working career in Nazareth, working with McCabe's favourite coach company. When Letty moved to London, it was only natural she should join McCabe!

Nada Nashashibi

has a degree in Graphic Communications from Wolverhampton University and is responsible amongst her other duties for this website! Nada's father, Fahmi, is the manager of the Golden Walls hotel, the McCabe base in Jerusalem.

Matthew Pears

Matthew is Alistair’s nephew and joined the company in 2008 after graduating from Edinburgh University. A very young Matthew was a McCabe representative in the village of Oberammergau during the 2000 Passion Play season and Matthew now joins us heading up our Oberammergau team making plans for 2010.
