The duo behind an agency with offices some 1,650 miles apart in the north-west of England and Spain have decided to launch their Destination Perfect brand on the British high street for the first time.

Owners Carla McFeely and Carla Mann launched their agency business in the Costa Del Sol in 2018 to serve the British expat community. However, in McFeely’s own words, “money started dwindling” when bookings dipped after the UK left the European Union in January 2020.

It was then McFeely, who was working in the UK as a homeworker during this period, and Mann decided to open a second office at Lancashire farm shop Huntleys in 2021. McFeely, though, started thinking about opening a shop in the village of Wilpshire where she moved during the pandemic.
