Couple In Franchising
In October 1995 Mel and Linda Bramley launched Inter Travel in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. They both had experience in accommodation only services, but originally they came from a teaching background.Even with previous experience in the industry, Mel and Linda found that they needed the support of the Global Travel Group in order to reach their full capabilities. “We invested in property abroad and were successful in renting to the public, but people would also ask us if we could organise their flights as well. It was then that we saw the potential business opportunity,” explains Mel.
The opportunities available with the Global Travel Group first came to light for Mel on recommendation from a fellow business man, and soon they became a member themselves. “We saw the potential of the technology and this continues today with TritonSearch, but I have to say another major benefit is being part of a group. As an independent agent we thought that we would feel isolated, but we enjoy getting together with fellow members and Global staff at meeting and events, it is like being a member of a club.”
Eleven years on, Inter Travel are benefiting from much repeat business and owns their own successful accommodation only company, which is also a preferred supplier of the Group. “Each business compliments the other as it allows us to dynamic package for our clients. We have received massive support from head office with our venture – from general advice, help building our business, and recently becoming a supplier for the Group’s accommodation only supplier TritonRooms.”
As a successful agent and tour operator Mel advises new members to speak to as many current members as possible. “You don’t need to feel alone. The Group will help you go as far as you want to go and provide you with all the support you need, but remember that the other members will help you too and it is great to speak to like-minded people.”
