Business Summary
Package Holiday Operator
Ref.GP131
Location North London
Asking Price £ 7,500,000
Established by the current owners in 1975, this family holiday operator and coach operator has been successfully supplying bespoke holiday packages to satisfy the needs of an ever-expanding customer base for nearly 34 years. An impressively diverse portfolio of products includes package holidays with accommodation in hotels, lodges and mobile homes, coach company offering trips, holidays and local private hire and self-drive packages also available. In an industry that is traditionally seen as a seasonal operation, year round sales have been achieved by an expansion into the realm of ski holidays. This was a venture entered into after only four years of business following the company’s remarkable success in the summer holiday sector and the acquisition of their own resort hotels.
The business currently operates summer tours to Spain, France, Italy, Austria and the French Alps and supplies ski packages in the winter months to both France and Austria, from their own coach company. In the summer of 2008 alone the business supplied nearly 6,000 satisfied customers. Built up from scratch, the business has enjoyed continuous growth and maintains a highly respected brand name.
A consistently high standard of customer service has been the catalyst for the company’s continued growth throughout the years. In an industry that relies heavily on the status of one’s reputation the owners have maintained extremely high standards with regards to staff training and the efficiency of their operations. This in turn has ensured excellent relations with clients based on effective communication, attention to detail and fast response rates to customer needs. The benefits of such an approach are reflected in an impressive sales record based largely on repeat business and customer referrals. Customer confidence is further ensured by membership of trade associations CAA, ATOL and ABTA.
