Vertical Group becomes ABTA Travel Partner
Vertical Group has become an ABTA Travel Partner in a bid to form a closer relationship with the organisation and its members.
The move will give Vertical Group increased visibility with ABTA members, preferential rates for the annual convention and other events, access to ABTA services and recognition as part of the ABTA family.
Vertical Group founder and chief executive Peter Healey said: “Vertical Group has been in business for more than 25 years. We have excellent relationships with many of the top organisations in the industry and joining the ABTA scheme is an extension of this.
“We look forward to even closer links with the trade and a strong working relationship with the organisation.”
The ABTA Travel Industry Partner scheme was set up in 1996 and has more than 150 members to date.
The Vertical Group has 400 customers in 1,500 agency locations and works with tour operators, small independent agencies, and multi-site agents.
