The homeworking firm said on Tuesday (21 March) its ranks had swelled to 13,404, which has gone hand-in-hand with a 51% year-on-year increase in first-quarter bookings.

It has also signed up another five preferred partners, bringing its total 76. Earlier this year, the business launched a three-tier marketing support plan for preferred suppliers.

Elsewhere, InteleTravel has expanded into the Republic of Ireland, where it has now around 200 advisors. The business hopes to use Ireland as a springboard into mainland Europe.

"There are plenty of potential agents who want to dip their toe in the water without too much financial burden," said InteleTravel UK managing director Tricia Handley-Hughes. "This is how many of our most successful agents have progressed into building a credible business earning excellent commissions.

"It’s early days for 2023, but our current monthly bookings trend puts us on target for record results. Since launching our first Strategic Partner Programme in early 2023, focusing on product and performance, our partners are already reporting positive results."
