Glasgow-based Barrhead has now opened nine new stores in the last few months with another eight in the pipeline. Barrhead’s retail network now totals more than 90 locations.

Each new store has been opened with a soft launch ahead of official events. Local charity and community initiatives have also been implemented in each new location. Store managers and teams are empowered to connect with businesses within local communities and are all supporting a charitable cause close to their hearts. 

Barrhead Travel president Jacqueline Dobson said: “We are really pleased with the progress of our expansion plans – it was great to officially welcome the teams at Wallasey, Darlington and Warrington to the Barrhead Travel family.

“Our new stores are already flourishing in their local areas, and I am looking forward to seeing how they progress over the coming months.  

“Our new colleagues have been working hard with preparations for the launch of their new stores and have had really warm welcomes from their local communities. We’re on track to complete our first 20 stores in the next few months and will be announcing the next few stores due to launch in the coming weeks.” 

Barrhead says it is “actively recruiting” in areas across England including Greater Manchester, Yorkshire and the Midlands.
