Former Future Travel MD joins Your Holiday Booking
David Elstob has joined the board of Your Holiday Booking, which runs homeworking division Holiday Experts.
He has been brought in to grow the group’s overall business, but particularly its homeworking division.
Your Holiday Booking is part of the Vertical Group, run by group chief executive Peter Healey.
Healey and Elstob have had a successful partnership in the past, when they set up Future Travel, now the homeworking division of The Co-operative Travel Group.
Elstob said: "At its peak in 2004 Future Travel had over 500 homeworkers and a turnover in excess of £200m. There is still plenty of room to grow the existing homeworking market today and at Holiday Experts we can once again offer the kind of support package and benefits that we offered back in 2004 – and more".
Healey said: "I am aware that it’s a competitive space out there, but our support package includes great central support marketing activity from the rest of the YHB businesses that enables our homeworkers to earn good, sustainable income.
"In fact, one of our homeworkers has just turned over in excess of £1m and the year’s not over yet."
Anyone interested in becoming a homeworker for the group is invited to visit the stand GV103 at World Travel Market to find out more.
