TravelManagers surpasses 600

MOBILE travel agent business, TravelManagers, has clocked up its 600th Personal Travel Manager (PTM), with Emma Lucas recently joining the network.

The business milestone follows a record trading year for the group in 2019, which also saw a number of PTMs recognised for their achievements at the Cruise Line Industry Association awards, National Travel Industry Awards, as well as the Avis Travel Agent Scholarship program.

TravelManagers’ Chief Operating Officer Grant Campbell said the company is excited to have reached the milestone, noting that it has taken just over 12 months to grow from the previous landmark of 550 PTMs.

“Not only that, but around half of our PTMs have been with us for five years or longer,” he said.

“We think that’s a pretty strong testimony to the TravelManagers business model and the support provided to PTMs, from accounts and product training to technology and business mentoring.”

A mother of two young children, Lucas said she was attracted to the TravelManagers business model as she believes it will help deliver the work-life balance she is looking for.
