“Why be in a marriage you don’t want to be in?,” remarks Adore Holidays boss Ian Gilder when TTG asks what happens when a homeworker wants to leave his agency.
Since launching Adore’s homeworking division last summer, Gilder has recruited four homeworkers and, like any aspirational business owner, he wants more.
However, Gilder realises life is precious, the industry is small and that it’s likely to be short-sighted to hold onto a homeworker’s commission, contact their customers without permission or generally make their lives uncomfortable if an agent wants to leave.
