Upmarket operator Kirker has partnered with the British Antique Dealers’ Association (BADA), a trade association for the British fine art and antiques community.
The collaboration will see Kirker support BADA events, such as the BADA Art Prize, which enters its fourth year in 2024.
Kirker will also support exclusive BADA Friends events, including Tea and Tiaras, a celebration of couture jewellery, presented by Andrew Prince, whose creations were used in TV’s Downton Abbey.
Ted Wake (pictured), managing director of Kirker Holidays, said: “There is a perfect synergy and fit between Kirker and the BADA.
“The similarity of our curious and discerning customer base means this partnership should benefit not only our two organisations, but our clients as well.”
Louise Phillips, BADA chair, added: “As Britian’s leading provider of luxury short breaks and cultural tours for nearly 40 years, Kirker Holidays reflects the high standards and expertise that membership of the BADA embodies.
“Both organisations were founded on the principle of providing clients with the very best, using their relevant experience to fulfil the expectations and interests of both new and existing customers – many of whom remain loyal to Kirker Holidays and BADA members.”
