TTG 30 Under 30 alumnus Brett Gerrett will head up Travelsafe, a business he describes as being "created by agents, for agents". "Our team all have significant industry experience," he said.
"We believe in giving travel professionals the freedom to run and operate their own businesses while providing solid financial protection and business support - no glitzy head offices, no expensive overheads, just an easy way for agents to do what they do best while maximising their profits."
Monthly costs for recruits lead in from £49, with commission of up to 90%. Lead generation is included at no extra cost.
Membership costs cover 24/7 support for both agent and client, a technology suite, "competitive commercial terms" and access to the Travelsafe app. The app will act as a companion for business updates, commercial agreements, supplier account information, booking management, payment processing and instant support.
Additionally, Travelsafe members will benefit from the use of an Atol and an Iata licence, as well as GDS access.
New members will receive a complimentary two-hour business consultation to assist with troubleshooting, and to identify new growth opportunities and maximise profits.
Travelsafe is a member of Protected Trust Services.
"Many travel professionals have long established businesses but seek a more informal and autonomous way of working," added Gerrett. "We are already speaking with a selection of agents across a wide spectrum of the industry."
PTS managing director Mark Sutton said: "PTS is thrilled to welcome Travelsafe as a member. Travelsafe is a forward thinking and dynamic solution entering the homeworking market, and the Travelsafe team echo PTS’s beliefs – [that] travel agents should be offered choice and modernised solutions.
"We are excited to support Brett and the Travelsafe team and we are positive Travelsafe will be an incredibly popular option in the travel homeworking market."
