A new kind of travel agent has opened for business in Brampton.

Local woman Jane Sedgwick (corr) has launched a service in the town which is available 24/7.

She recently joined award-winning, international business Travel Counsellers, which, unlike any other travel company, enables customers to be able to access it at the most convenient time for them, including Sundays when most travel agents are traditionally closed.

It operates on a home-working model and Jane has cutting edge technology at her fingertips, allowing her to search thousands of suppliers and holiday products in order to find the best options for customers.

Jane, who also chairs Brampton Film Club, said: “I am delighted to be part of Travel Counsellors to bring a totally new kind of service to this part of Cumbria.

"The in-house technology available to me is incredible – better than anything I have used before - and means I can search through thousands of holiday options for my customers at the best prices.

"Many people don’t have time to talk or even think about their holiday during the working week.

"I am available when it suits them and I can take all the hassle out of the booking process…all they have to do is enjoy themselves.

"I think my customers will really value the personal, caring service and attention to detail I’m offering as a Travel Counsellor – you can’t get that online.”

Travel Counsellors, which has more than 1,500 counsellors across the world, has been named as one of the most inspirational companies in Britain, according to the London Stock Exchange Group.

It has been listed in The Sunday Times HSBC International Track 200 four times.
