Prior to setting up Travel Counsellors, Chariman David Speakman operated a chain of traditional High Street travel agencies in the north west of England, when he had the vision to realise that the future for the professional agent was working from home and providing customers with the very best independent, travel advice.
Aware of the growing need by customers for a more relaxed form of choosing a holiday, and spurred by a plodding industry, the company has fast become the recognised leader in the increasingly popular home (or office) based travel agency arena.
Underpinned by the finest technology and supported by the ultimate centralised administrative service, Travel Counsellors continues to attract the very best in the industry.
Since 1994 the Travel Counsellors name has become synonymous
with top quality service and customers are now enjoying the highest levels of customer care, and booking holidays from the comfort of their own homes or workplace.
Travel Counsellors continues to set the pace and create the trends for the rest to follow in the constantly changing holiday marketplace. No wonder we were voted Travel Agent of the year 2006.
100% Focus On You and Your Business
We do not sell directly to the public. We do not compete with you and your business. We rely and focus completely on the success of our Travel Counsellors and the growth of their businesses.
100% of our time is focused on supporting our Travel Counsellors and helping them be a success. That is why we are different.
Support – When You Need It
Each and every Travel Counsellor runs and owns their own travel franchise.
In joining Travel Counsellors - as a previous owner of an agency - you will
not be on your own. Nevertheless,
we do recognise and respect that if you
have had the autonomy and
responsibility for owning your own agency or
agencies you will want that
independence and status maintained and
reflected in the package of
support that you receive.
Travel Counsellors provides extensive support and facilities to help
you run your business. The degree to which you draw on these is
down to you. What makes us different from other consortia and the
like, is our technology - which is the best in the industry - giving you
a fundamental advantage in running your business. Our on-going
programme of support and development is designed to help you
grow your business, from marketing, to training, to incisive
business advice - but you decide how much or how little of that
you wish to use.
We encourage all people that join us to buy into what
Travel Counsellors is all about - because you join a
franchise of like minded professionals - independently
autonomous but joined together by a common commitment
to looking after their customers and driving their business
forward through the strength of their own personal
relationships, rather than relying on a name
above a shop. This is the future for the independent
agent and we will give you the best possible chance there
is of maintaining, and more importantly building, a quality
business for you and your family.
