This week, a dozen agents from Your Co-op Travel were honoured at an intimate lunch, which celebrated individuals who have performed at an exceptional level over the past year. Agents from across the Your Co-op Travel network gathered for the event at Italian restaurant Riva Blu, located on Temple Row in Birmingham, with this being supported by TUI.
The lunch was an opportunity for the team to be recognized individually and unitedly for their significant contributions to what was a record-breaking year for Your Co-op Travel. Amongst the top performers were the top five bookers for Co-op Holidays – the in-house tour operator arm of Your Co-op Travel – as well as the top performing branch for sales and profit over the past year, and the branch who delivered the most improved sales year-on-year.
Your Co-op Travel also celebrated agents in their ‘Millionaire’s Club’, which includes those who have achieved £1 million in sales over the past 12-months. Among those commemorated at the event were Jeff Goodwin, Assistant Manager at Your Co-op Travel Derby, and Lisa Curtis, Travel Manager at Carrick Travel Stratford-upon-Avon, who both joined the ‘Millionaire’s Club’.
Jeff Goodwin, Assistant Manager at Your Co-op Travel Derby, who joined the ‘Millionaire’s Club’ for the second consecutive year, said: “After nearly five years at Your Co-op Travel, I’ve learnt so much from working with my team and couldn’t be prouder to join the business’ ‘Millionaire’s Club’ – it is definitely a career highlight!
“It feels fantastic to be recognised for my hard work and I feel more motivated than ever to help customers in Derby find their perfect holiday.”
Lisa Curtis, Travel Manager at Carrick Travel Stratford-upon-Avon, added: “I’m so proud to have become a member of Your Co-op Travel’s ‘Millionaire’s Club’ and couldn’t have reached this milestone without the support of the business, who go above and beyond to ensure we feel valued as agents.
“The top performers lunch was a great opportunity to connect with colleagues from across our branch network and recount what we’ve achieved over the last year, as well as celebrate everyone’s hard work.” Claire Evans, Chief Operating Officer Travel Channels at Co-op Travel, said: “Our branch network – which includes 71 locations across the UK – is powered by an incredible team of agents who work tirelessly to help those in their communities tailor make their dream getaway.
