Travel Village Group makes three appointments

• Share on WhatsApp
• Share by email

Pictured from left: Elliot Goldwater, Joy Woodside and Karen Hodgin

The Travel Village Group has made three “key” appointments to “enhance” the growth of its Holiday Village and Travel Village travel agencies.

Owners of the Blackpool-based business, Phil and Paula Nuttall, said the recent recruitment of Joy Woodside, Elliot Goldwater and Karen Hodgin to newly created positions “reinforced” the group’s commitment to trade partners and existing team.

Woodside joined from Destinology to take on the role of group product and commercial manager.

Goldwater and Hodgin have joined Holiday Village, to support homeworking agents. He moved from Jetset to become training manager and Hodgin joined from Thomas Cook and will head operations.

In a statement, the Nuttalls said Woodside brings experience of retail, luxury travel, ocean cruise and commercial skills to the group.

“We brought Joy into the business to reinforce and develop our relationships with the trade,” they said.

“Joy’s passion for travel is infectious; she is a leader and we are very excited to be working with her.”

Paula added: “We are extremely confident in the market returning strongly and it is quite clear that people are looking to book their holidays with a travel agent.

“Since the start of the pandemic there has been a real surge in people wanting to join the Holiday Village recognising the success of our business; we have high standards and a proven record of nurturing great talent.”

Goldwater will work with Paula and Woodside to ensure agents in the Holiday Village will receive bespoke business development support.

Hodgin will improve customer communication and lead the care team to deliver customer service to clients and the home-based travel experts.

Phil added: “Our family is continuing to grow and the Travel Village Group, supported by the existing management team, has something to offer all travel professionals with a positive can-do attitude, even in a pandemic.”

Travel village group recruits john warr as new md.

Travel Village Group has appointed former Wendy Wu Tours sales director John Warr as the agency’s new group managing director.

It was announced last month that Warr was leaving his role as Wendy Wu Tours’ global sales director “to pursue new opportunities”, after seven years with the escorted touring specialist.

Warr is joining family-run Travel Village Group, which includes the Travel Village and Holiday Village brands. The business, based in Blackpool, has been established for more than 60 years.

Paula and Phil Nuttall, from Travel Village Group, said: “We are truly excited that John is joining the family business.

“We’ve been lucky enough to have worked with John while he was at Wendy Wu Tours and more recently in a management consultancy capacity, and so have seen his passion, expertise and energy in action.

"With his very strong interpersonal skills, a reputation for leaving no stone unturned and great personal values we knew he would be a perfect fit to our family business."

Warr, who has also worked for Thomas Cook during his career in the industry, will oversee Travel Village’s growth plans in his new position.

“This business has great heritage and values, as well as ambition and drive with tremendous potential and opportunity as it emerges from the pandemic,” said Warr.

“We will be focusing on the various areas of the established business to build further on the gains made through Paula’s travel professionals in Holiday Village and Phil’s retail, ocean and river businesses.”

Holiday Village Careers

We are the Travel Village Group, a fourth-generation family business established in 1959, and one of our amazing brands is "The Holiday Village". The homeworking solution for travel experts who are looking to start their own travel business, with round-the-clock support from our dedicated and experienced team, you'll feel part of the family every step of the way.

The difference

Some of our team have worked within Homeworking businesses for over 20 years, and really understand the importance of that individual support needed to succeed. There is no one size fits all at The Holiday Village, it's all about YOU; helping you to put your ideas and plans into practice. Building strong foundations from day one and throughout your career with The Holiday Village.

We also know waiting for your forward commissions is a financial strain & worry especially in those early trading days. We pay you 50% commission in advance and the remainder paid 6 weeks prior to your customer's departure. This ensures you take home commissions in advance rather than waiting for all the money to be paid 8 weeks prior. Alternatively if you would rather receive your commission once your clients have travelled we can assist with this model also.

What we offer

• Individual business development
• Commission payments paid 6 weeks prior to your customers departure
• Marketing support including database marketing and social media support
• Excellent commercial deals
• Independent, no directional selling
• Website profile page
• Experienced back office care team, looking after you, your bookings and your customers documentation

Testimonials

I had the most devastating news on the 23 September 2019 that the Company I had worked for for the past 20 years had been taken under with Thomas Cook. I was in shock, heartbroken and scared. I hadn’t a clue where to start, or where to go for advice. I was ready to throw in the towel and give up my travel career. After a recommendation to call The Holiday Village, I spoke to Paula. She convinced me that I could get back to work and offer my clients the reassurance they deserved after booking with me for many years. It was the best call I could have made. I have had support and help from day one from Paula, Susan and the Admin Team. They are caring and encouraging, and will do anything they can help your business be a success. It’s refreshing to know you are not just another number, but a member of the Holiday Village family. - Christine Jones

I came to The Holiday Village at a time when I needed the flexibility and freedom of homeworking, but I also needed the backup up a solid team. I haven’t been disappointed. Paula cares passionately about her business and the people within it. Management is conscientious and ethical, and there’s always someone on the end of the phone if I need them. They give me the tools to operate, including an efficient admin team, whilst still allowing me the space to run my business at my own pace. - Andrea Smith

Working for the Holiday Village, I feel like part of the family and I am never on my own. The support is second to none, both sales, admin and marketing support are truly fantastic. Fantastic relationships with the business partners, working with the industry's best, it gives me every opportunity to get the right products for my clients, which is so important to me. I have never looked back, and never regretted joining The Holiday Village, one of the best decisions in my over 20 year career in the industry. My business continues to grow day by day, with the motivation and encouragement I receive from the Holiday Village. - Jill Parker

I’ve been working from home for over 20 years, and I can say wholeheartedly this is the best home working company I have run my business through (and I have been with quite a few in my time!). The administration support is exceptional. The freedom and choice of suppliers is great - it allows me to competitively offer lots of options for my clients. I feel I am part of the family, and not just a number. - Martin Owens

I joined The Holiday Village last year after working with another consortium for 7 years. The difference is amazing! The admin team work tirelessly to check paperwork and send it to clients quickly, they are also on hand to help get through to suppliers, take payments and act as a sounding board for our rants. Their workload during the pandemic with changes has increased massively but they keep calm and carry on! The marketing team has been fabulous, they helped me with my branding from day one. I opened a holiday hut last year, they helped me with marketing materials and graphics. They provide us with e shots, social media images,in fact anything we ask them for and they are so quick! We have fabulous commercial deals with lots of fabulous suppliers, I've already been on several cruise fam trips. Paula, Phil and the whole team care about my business as much as I do which is priceless. I wouldn't dream of working with anyone else now. Working with The Holiday Village is working as part of a family not putting pounds in faceless shareholder pockets, I only wish I'd moved sooner. - Wendy Haines

I have worked for 3 homeworking companies in my 17 years selling holidays from home and I can HONESTLY say The Holiday Village - Paula Nuttall and her amazing team are FANTASTIC! They have all got our backs should anything go wrong, no matter what time of day or night. I get a phone call every week to see how I am and can they do anything to help me, they pick me up when I am struggling. I have never had this from any home working company ever. Paula and her team have kept me sane for the past 22 months with the pandemic. I have not been pressured to pay back monies that I owe due to holidays being cancelled and clients wanting their money back. Another great thing about this company is I have my own admin person and she works hard to get my confirmations, tickets, balance reminders, etc quickly which is what clients like nowadays and her attention to detail is 5* too. We have a very friendly helpful Travel Village Facebook page and we all help one another too, you don't feel alone there is always someone there to help, give advice. Normally Paula, Susan and Elliott are there straight away answering questions, their attention to detail is FIRST CLASS. If I email Paula, I normally get an email back straight away or a phone call. - Joanna Parkin
