Beverley Travel has started recruiting for an as-yet-unconfirmed third shop so, as one of agency’s bosses jokes, the business can “sell its way out of trouble” after operating costs jumped sharply as new fiscal measures outlined in last year’s Budget took effect.

The agency believes the cost of recent changes to National Insurance, minimum wage and other aspects of running a business are the equivalent to employing one full-time staff member who doesn’t sell.
Currently, the agency has stores in Beverley and Hedon, with a third in the works in an unnamed east Yorkshire location. Beverley Travel’s bosses are currently finalising the contract to take over the high street premises, with a view to opening it in early June.
