An agent has embarked on an unexpected new venture after acquiring a travel agency that also operates as a coffee shop.
Pebbles Travel founder Martine MacDonald, who has worked in travel for the past 34 years, was previously manager of Norad Travel's shop in Chippenham, formerly Talma Travel.
“Norad wanted to move the agency elsewhere, and I was made redundant because I was unwilling to relocate with my young son,” Martine told TTG. “The staff decided to stay with me, so I took over the lease and started Pebbles Travel. And here we are, nearly 11 years later.”
