Specialist TMC Diversity Travel has begun its “biggest ever” recruitment drive, with the aim of bosting its staff numbers by more than 50% by the end of the year.
The Manchester-based travel company claimed it experienced a flight booking increase of more than 200% from the end of May compared to January, 2022, with travel to and within the UK increasing by 127%, and travel to and within the US increasing by 196%.
Diversity currently employs 160 people to provide travel management services to the charity, not-for-profit and academic sectors, but aims to double that number by the end of 2022 to meet the increased demand.
Customer service director Stu Booy said: “Demand for our services is off the scale at the moment, and beyond any of our expectations.
“Visits to our website are up by almost 40% and new clients are coming on board all the time.
“We have built our reputation by providing the best level of specialist service to all of our clients and feel a heightened duty of care as businesses send employees back on business trips again following so much disruption.
“This means we need a bigger team to continue to provide the same high level of service to everyone.”
