Independent travel chain Travel Counsellors to host live franchise webcast

Independent travel agency Travel Counsellors is to broadcast a free live webcast next week to help prospective franchisees learn more about its franchise opportunities; specifically its ‘Academy’ training programme.

Founded in 1994, Travel Counsellors offers travel services to various overseas locations and says that it has the highest customer service scores in the world.

It currently has over 1,200 home-based franchisees in the UK and overseas and is keen to expand its national network, calling on budding travel entrepreneurs to join its franchise programme.

The programme, which runs for 12 months, intends to equip new recruits with the skills needed “to run a successful travel business” and includes one-to-one sessions at the company’s Bolton headquarters, home-based online tutorials and support with business development.

Its webcast, which will air on March 19 at 7pm, is designed to showcase its franchise vacancies and will include presentations from the travel brand’s director, a Q&A session with existing franchisees and details on support and training.

Simon Burke, head of recruitment at Travel Counsellors, commented: “Since the beginning of 2014 we’ve had a surge in enquiries so decided to host a free webcast which will give a real understanding of how the franchise programme works.

“Using our proven formula, we offer the opportunity to have a successful career with all the benefits and flexibility of running your own business from home, including an improved overall work life balance and greater job satisfaction.”
