Homeworking agency Holidaysplease has recorded its first monthly profit since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in spring 2020.

Director Richard Dixon said the opportunity could prove tempting to “a couple of go-getting colleagues” looking to branch out

The company said it made a “modest five figure” profit in August as bookings and departures increased to key destinations.

Holidaysplease director Charles Duncombe said “I was a little surprised when our in-house accountant gave me the figures. I did ask her whether she had simply run out of red ink.


“We spent a huge amount of money during Covid to maintain our brand and customer goodwill. We didn’t make anyone redundant and, in fact, we took on people.
