Barrhead parent: 'There's a huge opportunity for high street growth over the next five years'

“Organisationally, we’re all part of the same company, so Jacqueline’s [Dobson, Barrhead president] success is ultimately Travel Leaders Group’s,” president John Lovell said. 

His comments on Wednesday (4 October) followed Barrhead sales and marketing director Nicki Tempest-Mitchell telling Barrhead’s conference in Mallorca that the agency had delivered a 26% increase in performance compared to pre-pandemic levels.

All sectors had increased their performance, Tempest-Mitchell reported, but especially the recently-launched touring and adventure division, which claimed growth of 102%.

Commenting on the results, Lovell told TTG Barrhead’s performance had contributed to the US group’s overall success, but stressed it was important to keep increasing transaction values.

“Ultimately growth is what propels any organisation to make future investments,” he said.
