Joining Beryl Towne of Althams Travel, Stef Trevett of Baileys Travel, Sara Allen of Dartmouth Travel and Su Dillon of Travel Counsellors, these new Ambassadors will be given the opportunity to attend TIPTO’s general meetings with an overall objective to help shape the organisation’s future.
In addition to taking an active role in the TIPTO set up, each Ambassador will also be given first refusal on invites to special TIPTO VIP events such as Ladies Day at the Races, TIPTO’s lavish afternoon tea and an exquisite lunch at celebrity favourite, The Ivy.

"We’ve had our Agent Ambassador Programme in place for six months now and it has been invaluable in helping us to understand the challenges facing todays frontline," said TIPTO chairman Jane Atkins.
"We have already begun utilising their thoughts and suggestions to hone what we do and it speaks volumes on the importance of the programme that we have already actively recruited two new faces."

TIPTO is still looking for new Agent Ambassadors. The criteria for entry is that agents must regularly attend TIPTO roadshow events and be registered at www.tipto.co.uk.
Applications are now open, so any agent wishing to apply can email TIPTO on [email protected], stating their case for becoming an ambassador.
