Brant Travel, located near Lincoln, is set to be acquired by Admiral Travel Group 

Admiral owner Andrew Nelson learned Brant Travel was available when Philippa Smith, one of two co-owners, contacted him to see if he would be interested in buying a share of the business.

The pair have known each other for more 10 years with both their agencies being members of the Hays Travel Independence Group.

However, once Nelson sat down with Smith and her business partner, they decided Admiral would buy out the business with Smith staying on to manage the agency in Lincoln, which is situated around 110 miles from Admiral's Altrincham HQ.
