Carrick Travel celebrated 40 years in Travel on Tuesday 1st April 2014 with a little thank you to all their staff. Birthday presents and cakes will be delivered to all 9 of their offices in time for the big day and a celebratory meal out and overnight is planned for later in the year.
Celebrations continue during April as they have just been announced as finalists in the Agent Achievement Awards 2014. Voted for by their suppliers within the industry Carrick Travel are one of just 5 finalists who will be at an awards ceremony in London on 30th April to hear the final results.
Tracey Carter said “This is fantastic news for everyone, we are all very excited and looking forward to a very special night out and keeping our fingers crossed that we may come home with the Award”.
Carrick Travel opened their doors in Kenilworth in 1974 when Mike and Sally Carrick decided to leave their positions with local travel firms and start their own Travel Agency. Over the years they have seen their local Travel Agency in Kenilworth grow to 9 offices throughout Warwickshire, West Midlands, Worcestershire and the Cotswolds. Mike and Sally took the decision early in 2011 to retire fully from the business and their Directors Tina Nason and Tracey Carter bought the company in January 2012.
Tina and Tracey have been running Carrick Travel for many years and it seemed like a natural progression to take on the Company. Tina Nason said “The last few years have been a bit of a whirlwind really, the team here at Carrick Travel have been extremely supportive and together we are all working hard to achieve our goals. Sales figures have been fantastic this year with us beating all records so we are certainly going in the right direction. We have great teams in all of our offices, very knowledgeable and experienced at arranging the perfect holiday. We know that there is lots of choice for anyone booking a holiday and would like to hope that we would be a consideration”.
Carrick Travel have offices in Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon, Kenilworth, Cheylesmore (Coventry), Solihull, Pershore, Evesham, Bourton-on-the-Water and Chipping Norton. For more information see our website at www.carricktravel.com.
Pentlands would like to congratulate Tina, Tracey and the all the Team at Carrick…may their success and growth continue.
