The Personal Travel Agents

When starting your own business from home, you’ll be looking for a partner that can offer you and your customers complete personalised support and security.

Join The Personal Travel Agents, the homeworking division of The Midcounties Co-operative, and you will be in safe hands. Our journey started in 2012, when we drew on the society’s many years of experience in the travel homeworking sector to build something we think is really special.

Now, 12 years on, we have 150 self-employed Personal Travel Agents – all part of a set-up with a great family feel – and we are pleased to be an award-winning business.

A helping hand

We pay up to 75% commission and pass on 100% of all supplier incentives. You get your own website and customer e-shot service managed by our experts, so there is no need to be a technical whizz.

We also offer a marketing suite of materials, campaigns, coaching and training to help you attract customers and enquiries. We provide the latest portable technology so you can take your business to your customers and have complete access anywhere in the world.

Our friendly, experienced team will take care of your post-booking administration, including supplier confirmations and tickets, so you have more time to focus on generating sales and building relationships with your customers.

And we never forget that we are part of this wonderful industry because we love to travel too. Our agents experience all sorts of adventures, from educational trips around the globe and our annual conferences to trips for top performers and plenty of get-togethers.

So, although you’ll be in charge of running your own business, you will never feel alone.
