Venture capitalists are circling around Travel Counsellors
following the decision by founder David Speakman to take a back
seat at the homeworking agency.
HgCapital has sounded out a number of senior industry figures
about the business, which turned over £128 million last
year.
Travel Counsellors has also revealed it has been approached by
other investment companies that want a stake in the business.
Managing director Steve Byrne said: “There is a lot of
interest in the company from the private equity market.”
