The venture was partially funded by Jet2holidays’ “Scale Up Your Street” initiative, which saw 11 travel agencies successfully pitch for a share of a more than £100,000 pot to drive retail expansion.
“There was an initial application and then a vetting process where I had to present my business plan to [director of travel agent relationships] Alan Cross and the rest of the Jet2 team,” director Andy Nelson told TTG. “They told me Craig Travel had been successful, and that they would happily contribute towards us opening another branch."
