Triton conference special: Huge jump in sales for in-house products
Triton members are now turning over £140 million worth of business annually for their in-house products and reaping commissions of £15 million.
Global chief executive and Triton director Andrew Botterill said a huge increase in sales of Triton Holidays, rooms and airfares was evidence of the consortium’s importance.
“We’re passionate about delivering products and services to members that make agents more relevant in their market,†he said.
“The growth of Triton products has been rapid. The figures are impressive.â€
He added that the size of Triton’s retail offering was crucial to its success.
“Three years ago we didn’t have scale. We had a good business model, but without scale, we’d have been eaten alive. We needed scale for our products and for negotiating with suppliers.â€
Botterill said turnover, commission and net margins among Global agents was significantly up in the first quarter of 2008 and that Stella’s takeover of the company strengthened its commitment to Triton.
“We’re delighted to be owned by a company that has worldwide reach and we want to use that and embrace it. It’s very positive.â€
