Brilliant Travel supports and provides resources for ‘ambitious travel industry professionals’, who want to set up their own travel business, either home-based or under a managed service branch.
Since it was formed in 2013, more than 40 travel businesses have joined, along with 30 home-based travel specialists.
Brilliant Travel director Linda Pyle said: "As the division continues to grow, our priority is providing our managed service travel partners and homeworkers with the highest standard of service – and with further expansion planned this year, his appointment is a vital part of our growth plans."
