Tuesday, 30 Jul, 2018 0

Travel Counsellors has seen a rise in global sales over the first half of 2018, driven by a surge in demand from the corporate sector.

Total bookings made by the Manchester-headquartered business reached £328m in the first half of the year, an increase of 12% from the same period in 2017.

UK bookings rose to £242m, up £30m from 2017.

Travel Counsellors says there has been a growing demand from the corporate travel sector.

In 2018, Travel Counsellors’ global corporate travel bookings increased by 12% to £75m, with UK sales rising by 15% to £60m.

The company’s sales figures have also been bolstered by a particularly active, post-World Cup July, which saw a 20 per cent rise in bookings compared to the same period last year.

Travel Counsellors chief executive Steve Byrne said: "We apply equal measures of care and attention to our business travellers, reflected in the continuous growth the company has experienced in this area."

The company has recruited 155 more Travel Counsellors this year.
