Educational travel group buys three new brands

Wednesday, 16 Oct, 2018 0

Blackpool-based specialist educational travel company, Next Generation Travel (NGT), has acquired three Surrey-based firms.

The addition of Study Experiences, Sport Experiences and Remembrance Travel means the group now has six specialist educational travel brands offering trips throughout the UK, Continental Europe and worldwide.

It will also grow the company’s turnover to £25 million, with a workforce of 80 people and annual passenger figures of more than 70,000.

Established in 2010, NGT’s existing brands are WST Travel, FHT Travel, and Anglia Tours.

Cambridgeshire-based FHT Travel was acquired in 2013 and Anglia Tours, a battlefields tours specialist, was acquired in 2017.

NGT managing director Deborah Beckett said the acquisitions were a key part of the group’s strategic expansion plans.

"These new brands enable us to enter new markets and deliver a broader selection of specialist tours for our clients," she said.
