A BROMSGROVE travel specialist is expanding its business and bringing 40 new jobs to the town.
Hotel and Travel Solutions (HTS) will be taking on the new staff over the next three years after experiencing a 64 per cent growth in year-on-year business which came about following a pro-active approach to sourcing new clients.
The firm, based at Five Mile House in Hanbury Road, was established in 2010 by Julie Shorrock who has more than 25 years hotel and travel experience.
The company provides corporate clients with bespoke solutions for travel, accommodation and venues.
This year has also seen HTS expand into event management as it strives to tailor its services to its growing client base.
The company, which currently employs 21 people, moved offices last year following the business growth and is now taking on three new reservations consultants and a conference development manager.
HTS is already looking into future staff expansions in all departments to cope with growing demand, with plans to create more than 40 jobs, including both junior and senior positions, over the next three years.
Juliet Wedderburn, business development director at HTS, said: “We have seen a considerable amount of growth as we enter our eighth year of trading.
“Our main sales trend is accommodation. A total of 80 per cent of our overall business is hotels, and 90 per cent of this is for bookings based within the UK.
“Our travel options include everything from air, rail, ferries and car hire to airport parking and airport lounges, and this year has also seen an exciting development as we expand into event management.
“This wide range of services means we have been successful at both retaining existing clients and attracting new business.
“Due to this continued growth, we are now looking at bringing even more new jobs to Bromsgrove as we plan to expand further and would like to hear from good communicators who would like to work with a progressive company.”
Julie said: “It is excellent to see the company experiencing such major growth, which is down to the team fully embracing our pro-active approach to sourcing new business.
“This success means we are able to grow our team with four new positions and also look at further employment opportunities.”
