ITC to celebrate record year by taking all staff on holiday
April Hutchinson
ITC Luxury Travel is to take its entire staff on holiday to celebrate the end of a record financial year.
Chief executive Jennifer Atkinson has invited all 108 staff for a weekend at Ritz-Carlton’s Abama resort in Tenerife in recognition for their hard work in the past 12 months.
Atkinson led a management buy-out of the 41-year-old company last year alongside former chief executive of Capita, Paul Pindar, who is now chairman of ITC.
"I truly believe that when you recognise hard work as a business you get the very best from your employees"
End of year figures showed the operator had achieved “in excess” of £1.7 million profit for the financial year 2014/2015, now hailed as the best in the company’s 41-year history. A new office in Preston was also announced.
“It was an utter pleasure to be able to make this happy announcement,” Atkinson said. “Here at ITC Luxury Travel we ‘work hard play hard’ and I truly believe that when you recognise hard work as a business you get the very best from your employees.”
A new graduate training programme is also to be launched this summer to encourage new entrants to travel.
Earlier this year, ITC picked up a place in the Sunday Times Top 100 Small Companies to Work For, the fourth consecutive time it has done so.
