- Co-founders Ross Griffiths and Luke Skinner introduce new pricing tiers to attract aspiring agents.

Your Endless Travel, a progressive homeworking travel agency, is embarking on an extensive recruitment initiative aimed at attracting ambitious travel agents. Co-owners Ross Griffiths and Luke Skinner are spearheading the effort with the introduction of innovative pricing tiers that allow agents to establish their own businesses without initial costs if they join before the year’s end.
The recruitment campaign follows the agency’s strategic alignment with Protected Trust Services. This partnership is designed to enhance Your Endless Travel’s operational capacity, allowing it to offer its agents increased flexibility in creating custom travel packages. ‘PTS is the right fit for us, it gives us more flexibility’, Griffiths expressed, highlighting the access to a significant database of direct supplier contracts that the partnership provides.
The agency’s goal is to recruit 20 new homeworkers within the next six months. This reflects an intent to bolster its workforce with a blend of seasoned professionals and individuals seeking to re-enter or transition into the travel industry. Potential recruits are drawn from various sectors, including former travel agents and professionals from adjacent fields such as air cabin crew.
To support this expansion, Your Endless Travel plans to develop a robust mentoring programme. This initiative seeks to cultivate internal mentors who will guide less experienced agents, providing essential training and support. Face-to-face training sessions are also part of the plan, aiming to ensure that new agents are well-prepared to meet the demands of the role.
Alongside the recruitment drive, Griffiths is personally venturing into a specialised tour operation, focusing on BBQ-themed holidays in South Africa and the Americas. This niche venture is indicative of the agency’s encouragement for agents to pursue specialised interests, thereby diversifying and enriching the agency’s travel offerings.
Your Endless Travel’s recruitment and operational strategies exemplify a forward-thinking approach to expanding its influence in the travel industry.
