Luxury tailor-made tour operator Carrier will service trade enquiries only when it moves to its new head office in Didsbury next month.
Its retail travel agency, Carrier Travel, based in Alderley Edge will be the sole location handling customer enquiries directly.
The move comes into effect on December 4, when Carrier moves to its new head office, just outside of Manchester.
Carrier said the change ‘will allow for all areas of the business to have a single-minded focus on the trade, with Carrier able to commit to travel agents more than ever before’.
Speaking at Carrier’s annual Preferred Partner Awards at the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, managing director Mark Duguid said: "Since joining Carrier earlier this year, I’ve been amazed by the level of support from the trade.
"With over 80% of our business generated by travel agents, they are the most valuable part of the business and we’re increasingly looking at ways we can improve our service to them.
"I’m proud of the long-standing relationships with our travel trade partners and I’m confident that the renewed focus at head office will lead to even stronger partnerships."
