Manchester travel tech platform Travel Counsellors is happy to announce that it is on track for £1bn turnover following a "devastating" pandemic. 

 

Steve Byrne, the firm's CEO, says that besides eyeing a £1bn turnover, the company will also expand its investment into its travel tech platform. 

 

The company specialises in empowering independent travel advisors to provide personalised corporate or holiday services to customers. It offers a dedicated app containing travel guidance, itineraries, travel documents and content. 

 

Steve Byrne said: “We expect the business to turnover £1bn in three to four years’ time but it's all predicated on the brilliant levels of service that the travel counsellors provide, powered and supported by the tech platform that we provide,”

 

“We saw the most dramatic reduction in a business’s income you could possibly see, through no fault of its own, and now you see one of the most radical recoveries. We are currently trading about 40% up above 2019 levels which is just incredible.”

 

He added: “The single most important reason why we are recovering so well is because of the people that we’ve got and they just carried on caring for their customers notwithstanding the very difficult circumstances that they faced.”
