After receiving the tough news, Victoria Kennan – who had previously worked for a Hays Travel Independence Group member for 14 years – reached out to the Hays IG team to get ball rolling on her own venture.
Victoria’s Travel opened its first branch in Droitwich Spa's aptly named Victoria Square last Saturday (30 May).
Kennan said: “It is just amazing that I now have my own branch. It was daunting to make the move, but it has been really good so far.
“I worked for a Hays Travel Independence Group member for 14 years, so it is helpful I already know people in the support team and all the systems.
