How Hays Travel started In 1980, with no industry experience and only a desk at the back of his mum’s children’s wear shop in Seaham, County Durham; John Hays got his travel business off the ground. Some 40 years later, Hays Travel is now the UK’s largest independent travel agent and recognised as a Sunday Times’ 100 Best Companies to work for in the UK. How the Hays Travel Homeworking Division works John strongly believed that from equally humble beginnings many other successful businesses can be built. With this in mind, the Homeworking Division was formed in 1997. It was designed to help experienced travel professionals have the support of a large travel industry organisation to help support drive their business forward. In addition, the business identified the desire for non-travel professionals to pursue a new career, a change of direction from their everyday lives and move into the Travel Industry. Our Academy – New to Travel product was born, and this model supports the Non Travel professionals with an entry into the Travel sector with full Training and ongoing support with all the tools you need to drive the business forward. A key ingredient to the Homeworking Division success is our passion for travel and people; as an independent travel agent with over 40 years of experience, we have real
insight into the business. With a dedicated Operations and Business Development team, we can offer a personal service tailored just to you. Alongside this support, our Head office team in Social media are on hand to offer Training and guidance on how to drive sales through your Social channels. As a Hays Homeworker, you will enjoy leading tour operator and supplier commissions with coaching and support to ensure you grow and develop a successful Travel Business.
Working with our Homeworking Division is all about Partnership, Profit and People!
