Already an experienced travel agent David Speakman recognised that expert travel consultants were the unsung heroes of the travel industry.  He understood that they came up against countless hurdles which often held them back from putting their customers at the very centre at what they did.  In 1994 David designed a business model which allowed these experts to achieve this. 

Each agent is free to deliver the kind of service they’ve always dreamed of giving.  As a result they’ll deliver a trip that’s right for you.

Since then, we’ve won a number of prestigious awards.  The company has gone from strength to strength.  We have one of the best service records in the world, with agents enjoying a repeat business rate of over 60% as customers come back time and time again.

Travel Counsellors is a truly dynamic and global travel company with more than 1,300 Travel Counsellors across seven countries, supported by local staff in Cork as well as a head office in Bolton.
