Yorkshire agency Olive Lounge Travel is expanding into nearby Bingley – a move that will restore a high street travel agency presence in the town – and also plans to host its first in-house conference.

Crosshills-based Olive Lounge closed its Barrowford branch in August 2021 owing to the pandemic, but will return to being a two-branch agency at the weekend.


It follows strong year-on-year growth for the several-time TTG Top 50 agency, which has experienced at least 20% growth in sales, bookings, revenue and commission this year.

Olive Lounge was named Yorkshire’s top agency in 2019, and also made the Top 50 in 2020 and again in 2023.


The agency has also recently taken on another two homeworkers, growing its homeworking division – which it launched in January 2023 – to 14 in total.
