Nicki Tempest-Mitchell, Barrhead Travel managing director, confirmed the Scottish agency can see "huge potential" for growing its retail footprint in Northern Ireland.
Its Newtownabbey store, Barrhead’s second Northern Irish branch, which opened in November 2024, achieved its sales target for 2025 by the end of the first quarter.
The agency has expanded its team, taking on an additional full-time travel consultant to meet ongoing demand, after initially investing £1.2 million in the branch.
Barrhead’s first Northern Irish branch opened in Belfast’s Victoria Square Shopping Centre in 2017.
