The Travel Franchise can today announce that it has been recognised as one of the UK’s fastest-growing businesses as a finalist in The Scale up Business of the Year Award category of the premier British Business Excellence Awards  (www.britishbusinessexcellenceawards.co.uk).

Launched in 2001 by co-founders Steve Witt and Paul Harrison, The Travel Franchise is one of the UK’s fastest-growing travel franchises. Members can invest in a ready-made travel company from as little as £2,995 through The Travel Franchise to train as a fully protected Not Just Travel-branded consultant. Many of its members have no prior experience of working in travel yet have gone on to make tens of thousands of pounds in sales each month - some within their first month out of training. 

The company offers a complete, ready-to-go infrastructure to those with no experience in travel to train as a fully qualified travel agent and successful entrepreneur. The innovative training has proved so successful that the company has gained a reputation as the number one homeworking travel agency for people who have never worked in the industry before. The company now has hundreds of homeworking travel consultants across the UK who are making record-breaking profits and holiday sales.

The awards judges highlighted the speed of the company’s growth. Last year, The Travel Franchise doubled in size in terms of both sales and staff members, as well as launching a number of pioneering initiatives for the travel industry. It is set to double again in terms of holiday sales over the next 12 months.

The British Business Excellence Awards is the elite business awards programme for businesses of all shapes and sizes across the UK, culminating in a glamorous awards ceremony on Tuesday 14th November 2023 at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London. 

Co-founders Steve Witt and Paul Harrison said: “We have seen formidable growth in the past year and have very ambitious plans for our future. As a result of the incredible investment, injecting profits back into the training and support for our members, our expert travel  franchisees are enjoying soaring profits. 2023 has proven to be a record-breaking year. We are delighted to be recognised for our recent success and bold plans for future expansion in the UK’s most prestigious business award.” 

Sarah Austin, Founder & Director of the Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards, commented on the announcement: 

"As the UK's unrivalled celebration of business brilliance, resilience, and innovation - the Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards takes centre stage – and this year is no exception. The anticipation is electrifying as we gear up for the grand event at the glamorous Grosvenor Hotel.

"We've witnessed a spectacular level of submissions across a wide range of dynamic industries –  highlighting just how much the UK business landscape is thriving. Kudos to each and every finalist who has made the shortlist - setting the bar high for what it means to be a champion in the business world."
