Barrhead Travel sets date for 20 new openings

Fifteen locations have already been identified and 75 new staff are currently undergoing training.

This is part of the business’s 100-branch expansion, which would increase its network of shops from 76 to 176.

Barrhead has already revealed the first seven new shop locations will be in Liverpool, Widnes, Wallasey, Burnley, Isle of Wight, Northwich and Warrington.

These shops are all expected to open in January.

“We are really looking to make sure that we put our people at the helm of their individual stores or departments,” said Jacqueline Dobson, president of Barrhead Travel.

“When we are moving into new locations across the country, we want to empower our new managers to let them drive their own marketing strategy.
