The homeworking giant has operated a dedicated line aimed at agents seeking help and advice for their next career move since last January.

Originally set up to support independent high street agency owners seeking advice on working remotely during lockdown, the helpline has expanded to offer assistance to all travel professionals in the pandemic. 

Travel Counsellors said five agents who had previously operated high street shops had joined its homeworking ranks in 2020. It also reported a “steady stream” of members over the previous year – with more than 160 agents coming onboard.
