More than half of Hays Travel branches are performing better than expected.

The best-performing Hays Travel branches were in Forestside, Belfast, Glasgow, and Skegness.

The staff had achieved their targets six months early.

Hays Travel is launching a recruitment drive.

When the business sees a lull, they bounce back in October, and this year they did.

Sales were 131% of the target so far.

Big things are expected in January. We'll appreciate any overtime we can do in January. It would be great if there was more support.

The floor could be wiped in January.

410 staff have joined the business' access to travel programme since it was launched a year ago.

Any staff member in a sales-based or retail role that joined Hays Travel without any prior travel experience is eligible for the six-month programme.

More than 200 of the staff were still completing the educational program. The programme will teach new staff about the company's "service ethos", sales techniques, systems and product knowledge.

She said that they have a number of plans in the works and are looking for opportunities.

Hays Travel wants agents to stay with them.
