One of Britain’s best loved travel agents has opened up a new shop in Dalton Park.
The UK’s largest independent travel agent Hays Travel opened its newest branch last week. Owner and chair of Hays Travel, Dame Irene Hays, was at Dalton Park on Friday to officially open the newest branch.
Works to refit the unit began in January and included installing six desks for agents to meet with customers, a waiting area, and a foreign exchange bureau.
The team of six at Hays Travel Dalton Park includes Assistant Manager Kim Nielsen-Hill, three travel consultants, and a dedicated foreign exchange consultant, all headed up by Branch Manager David Musson, who has worked for for the firm for 17 years and has been a manager for the past seven.
Dame Irene Hays said: “All our new branches are special, but we are particularly excited about this one! Dalton Park is an increasingly popular destination for not only shopping but also leisure and eating out, with the cinema and choice of catering outlets for visitors.
“We have a great team in the branch, who are excited to be booking holidays and arranging travel money for their customers. It was a delight to officially open this new branch and wish them every success in what I am sure will be a thriving new branch.”
Hays Travel is the UK’s largest independent travel agent, with the latest expansion taking the number of branches in its retail network to almost 500 shops. Hays Travel’s first branch, which opened in Seaham in 1980, remains open on Church Street. The branch is open Monday to Friday 10.15am – 6pm, Saturday 9.45am – 6pm, and Sunday 10.30am – 4.30pm.
