Travel Counsellors leaps up profit league table
Five travel firms have made the Sunday Times Profit Track 100 league table with Travel Counsellors jumping 67 places since last year.
Paultons Park in Hampshire, which is home to Peppa Pig World, came 12th with profit growth of 107.68% in the table which rates Britain’s private companies with the fastest-growing profits.
Travel Counsellors rose to 13th position, up from 80th last year, with 102.96% profit growth.
The homeworking group founded by David Speakman has exported its business model around the world.
Hotel operator Arora Holdings, which started running a bed-and-breakfast business for airline staff at Heathrow in 1999, saw profits grow by 84.29%.
In 22nd place, the company now runs six hotels around Manchester, Heathrow and Gatwick airports. It plans to develop hotels at sporting venues including a project at the Oval cricket ground.
Great Rail Journeys came 78th with a 49.87% growth, partly due to investment in brands and ecommerce.
Accommodation website Totalstay ,which features hotel rooms for agents, operators and consumers to book, came 95th with a 44.09% increase.
The company runs Totalstay, Hotel Pronto and Exclusively Hotels and was launched by Peter Clements during the dotcom boom in 1999.
To be eligible, companies had to be registered in the UK, independent and to show profit growth over three years, exceeding profits of £3 million in the latest audited accounts.
