Put your hands together Travel Counsellors, because the home-based agent company has landed itself a place on a prestigious list in the UK, thanks to its impressive international sales growth over the last 12 months.
For the seventh time now, Travel Counsellors is starring on the renowned Sunday Times HSBC International Track 200 which ranks companies with the fastest-growing global sales, measured over their latest two years of available accounts.
It comes after Travel Counsellors expanded into seven countries and experienced double-digit growth year on year.
Travel Counsellors’ CEO Steve Byrne he was thrilled to be recognised for the seventh time for their continued growth overseas.
“The international success of our business model is in no small part due to the care we show to our customers, using technology to enhance the personal relationships and exceptional service our Travel Counsellors provide to their loyal client base.

He said this was why their model had really been embraced by the overseas markets they have expanded into.
“Our international presence also benefits our Travel Counsellors and their customers by building on our global buying power, local knowledge and enabling true 24/7 support,” he said.
According to Byrne, over the past 12 months alone the company has invested £6 million in global technology, including the launch of their own customer app and the continued development of our in-house booking system, Phenix.
The independent global travel company now has over 1800 home-based Travel Counsellors running their own businesses across the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, South Africa, Australia, and the UAE.
It has consistently achieved strong growth figures, with group turnover increasing by 59% over the past three years, and growth in international operations increasing by 75% during the same period.
Last year the company was also named in The Sunday Times Grant Thornton Top Track 250 league table, ranking Britain’s mid-market growth private companies with the biggest sales, and received the 2017 National Business Award for Customer Focus.
