In November 2023, Rebecca Holt began running the company’s Chapeltown and Wombwell stores in South Yorkshire as her own businesses.

 

Now she will also be responsible for Hays Travel’s newest branch, which had its official grand opening in Chesterfield’s Vicar Lane Shopping Centre on Monday 29 December.

 

The team of eight will be led by manager Rebecca Manton, who was most recently a Personal Travel Consultant with Hays Travel.

 

She said: “I have been saying for years that Chesterfield needed a Hays Travel, and now it’s finally here.

 

“I’m super excited to open and meet our wonderful new customers, helping them plan their dream holidays.”

Over the past month, Rebecca and her new team have been out and about in the town giving residents the chance to win a £100 holiday voucher.

Steven Reilly, Hays Travel’s Head of Franchise, said: “It has been fantastic to see Rebecca flourish as a franchisee. Her story shows the wealth of opportunity and progression paths available at Hays Travel.

 

“To have the new branch operational ready for January – which is always one of the busiest times of the year in our industry – is a huge success and we look forward to working with Rebecca during the next stage of her journey.”
