Homeworking specialist Travel Counsellors has boosted its turnover by 21% to £262 million during its last financial year.

Chief executive Steve Byrne said Travel Counsellors progress was testament to the importance of human interaction in travel

The Manchester-based business made a record £578 million in sales (total transaction value) between November 2017 and October 2018, while turnover rose from £217 million to £262 million – its 13th consecutive year of double-digit growth.

Travel Counsellors has continued this momentum into the current financial year with a record-breaking month for sales in January including taking £5.1 million in bookings during a single day on 31 January.

Its business travel arm, Travel Counsellors for Business, also saw revenue rise by 18% during the last financial year and now represents a quarter of its total income.
