Experience It Now Travel, which has been operating since 2017 and has three branches in Sussex, had just two homeworkers on its books in November 2023; it now has 105.

Director Richard Light told TTG he and his team had received hundreds of enquiries from potential homeworkers since the agency took the decision to diversify.

Outlining the agency’s ambitious growth plans, Light said: “We’ve had just over 1,400 enquiries about becoming a homeworker, but only 7% or 8% get through. 

“Everybody gets an interview. This is when we try to identify those who have transferable skills.
