Dear valued clients,
I hope the 2024 festive season has brought joy and cherished memories for you and your loved ones. With a new year brings new opportunity, new plans and the chance to reflect on upcoming milestones. For the Barrhead Travel Group, 2025 will be a particularly special year for us. We’ll be celebrating 50 years in business this year. In 1975, our very first store opened its doors in the Glasgow suburb of Barrhead. The vision for the business was to provide industry-leading customer service and experiences for its customers – becoming the first travel agency to push the boundaries of retail by extending trading hours to Sundays. Fast forward five decades and the Barrhead Travel Group has become one of the leading travel agency groups with locations spanning across the UK. Despite the growth in our business – our mission remains largely the same as it did back in the seventies. We’re a people and client-first business – and our goal is still about providing unforgettable holidays and incredible service for our customers. We never stand still, and our team is always working to secure the very best travel products in the marketplace and deliver unbeatable value-for-money. Over the years, we’ve extended our services and expertise, staying ahead of trends and helping to connect people with the world as travel becomes more accessible. Our vision for the next decade is to continue innovating to help travellers from every background experience the parts of the world that they long to visit. Right at the heart of Barrhead Travel is the people. While investing in technology is essential, investing in our people takes priority. Our people-first strategy means that we understand the power of human interaction which is why you’ll always be able to speak with a real expert when you book with us. There’s no replacement for first-hand experience when booking travel and we routinely send our experts on educational trips across the world so they can make informed decisions when planning your itinerary. As well as our people, we continue to invest in high streets and shopping outlets across the country. Our stores not only serve as travel agencies, but they are pillars of their local communities with each supporting many local initiatives throughout the year. We opened our latest store in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland at the end of 2024 with plans to continue opening new stores and re-investing in existing locations over the next few years. Whatever way you choose to book your holiday – in one of our stores, through our websites, via social media, or by calling our team – you’ll always have an expert to speak with, every step of the way. We know you have choices when it comes to booking travel and we’re very grateful that you continue to trust your travel plans with Barrhead Travel. We hope that we can continue sharing travel inspiration with you during our 50th year in business. Here’s to another year of exciting travel plans.
