Byrne was speaking to TTG following Travel Counsellors’ purchase of Birmingham-headquartered Holidaysplease on Monday (13 March) – the first acquisition in the homeworking giant’s near 30-year history.

The deal, for an undisclosed sum, will offer “the best of both worlds” for each business, Byrne claimed, adding how he wanted to “provide lasting benefit” for Holidaysplease’s homeworking agents, franchisees and head office employees.
