GoCruise & Travel recently held its annual Franchise Top Achiever event during which it not only celebrated the success of its 20 top franchisees but also the growth of the business, which is part of the Fred. Olsen Travel group.

Twelve new franchisees joined GoCruise & Travel this year and the number of franchisees achieving over £1m of sales has doubled compared to last year.
The event hosted by Dan Jones, business manager for Cunard, was to reward the high performance of the business owners and to treat them with a two-day relaxation and pampering experience that was held at the Carden Park Hotel & Spa, Chester.
The group celebrated their successes and shared business opportunities for growth and development, including a focus on Cunard.
Jones commented: “It was a pleasure to host the event for the second year and to celebrate the achievements of an exceptional group of travel agents. This year has been truly momentous for Cunard as we welcomed Queen Anne to the fleet.
“Our partnership with GoCruise & Travel and Fred. Olsen Travel continues to flourish through more retail store visits, training opportunities and bespoke hosted events. We have also been honoured to welcome many of this year’s Top Achievers on board the Queen Anne, through ship visits and familiarisation trips and we look forward to showcasing her to even more of our partners in the months ahead.”
Supporting and growing our relationships
Colin Martin-Weekes, franchise general manager for GoCruise & Travel, added: “It was a pleasure to treat our franchisees as a thank you for all the hard work they put into their business, and to be able to share it with our head office support team members who do an amazing job for our franchisees.
“The venue was spectacular and allowed us to really connect with them all and build on supporting and growing our relationships. Our strategy is to look after what we have built together, and this was our way of rewarding all involved for a job well done.”
Jane Chadwick, a franchisee of GoCruise & Travel for over 10 years, who attended the event said: “A massive thank you for the best Top Achievers event which we absolutely loved. It really did feel like an extra special treat from start to finish. The venue was stunning, the spa treatment was amazing and, most importantly, we had a fabulous time and felt appreciated.”
