Two sisters who launched a travel business from home four months ago have already turned over £143,000 .

Lesley Robertson, a former estate agent, and her sister Nicole, run a franchise called Not Just Travel in Bristol .

The duo are part of The Travel Franchise group - a franchised travel agency business co-owned by Steve Witt and Paul Harrison.

Before launching the company, the sisters were given training on how to run the business. They are also going on a retreat to Morocco later this year to learn more about running a franchise.

“[The training] has been invaluable,” said Lesley.  “It really helps to give you a real boost and gets you motivated.”

She says the pair have worked hard to promote their company everywhere they can. “We have made ourselves available day and night, literally up to midnight at times. We respond to enquiries and messages straight away too, " she added.

 

Nicole said: “It has been a real learning curve. We are really glad we chose Not Just Travel – it’s a great company to work for. We are really pleased the way the company is moving towards being more corporate.

“My advice to other would-be travel consultants is to be prepared for a lot of hard work and patience. It will be worth it as you get what you put in.”
