H O M E W O R K E R CONFERENCE
/////////////////
April saw the Hays Travel Personal Travel Consultant and Homeworker Conference take place at the beautiful Tivoli Carvoeiro hotel in Portugal.
Almost a hundred homeworkers spent four nights in the stunning setting, alongside 20 members of the head office team and over 30 key suppliers. As well as informative business sessions, there was ‘matchmaking’ with suppliers and plenty of fun social events, including a ‘rock star’ fancy dress night! The final evening saw many of our homeworkers receive well-deserved recognition at the gala dinner awards ceremony, including Geraldine Sproston, who won this year’s Outstanding Contribution award.
