Partners2Success: The Podcast will be available free on Spotify and Apple Music from next week. Each episode will be hosted by Jet2holidays’ general manager of trade sales Lloyd Cross. 
 
The first episode will launch on Thursday (24 October) and features Don Bircham from Don Bircham Travel; Greig Avinou, franchise owner, Barrhead Travel Falkirk; plus entertainer Nathan Turner. 

Subjects tackled include the benefits of being your own boss, the best parts of being in the travel industry and how Bircham negotiated an early exit from school.
 
Cross said: “We are always looking at how we further improve the brilliant relationships that we have with independent travel agents, whilst giving them the knowledge and skills they need to succeed at the same time. 

“With more and more people listening to podcasts, we believe this is a great way to interact with agency partners and what better way to learn how to succeed than to listen to other amazing success stories?

“We believe we can build a great community where we can all learn from one another, so if agents want to take part or have questions, stories or experiences that they wish to share, we urge them to get in contact with us.”

Agents can email p2spodcast@jet2holidays.com if they wish to contribute.
