Abbie Heaton, The Personal Travel Consultants in Partnership with Blue Bay Travel's group manager, said, "We're trading exceptionally well and are poised for considered growth in our homeworker numbers based around quality, despite some clear cost challenges which are affecting the whole industry."
One notable change for 2025 was the delaying of peaks training from pre-Christmas to early January, allowing agents to spend their much-needed Christmas break away from their desks before returning raring to go in the New Year.
"We’re confident that our compelling commission structure, which see agents receive 50 per cent up front, combined with the wonderful support team we have in place that provides a real family feel and is enhanced by our new agent committee, will be very appealing to anyone considering a change. We're excited for what 2025 holds."
