Mike Allsopp started the business as a homeworker in 2011 before opening a shop in Astwood Bank. After three years, the company relocated to Barnt Green and rebranded as Barnt Green Travel Lounge.

The team specialise in tailor-made travel, and also developed an airport and port transfer operation. Allsopp is supported by two part-time in-house staff.

The business has gone from strength to strength, and as part of his expansion plans, Allsopp is now seeking self-employed homeworkers to join the team remotely, backed by the Global Travel Group member’s ongoing support, guidance, training and marketing and booking systems.
