Adding another nomination to our collection, we’re proud that co-founder Steve Witt is a finalist in the Businessperson of the Year in the 2022 Central South Business Awards.
These highly competitive awards recognise the best businesses throughout the South of England, stretching from the furthest East of Surrey to the West of Dorset.
Recognising inspirational excellence
We’re thrilled that Steve’s sure-footed thinking, inspirational energy and his constant determination to always innovate and improve, has been recognised by industry leaders.
Throughout the many awards we’ve won or have been nominated for, judges are impressed with how The Travel Franchise and Not Just Travel invested in its people, technology and customers throughout the darkest times in Covid.

Pioneering in their mission, Steve and Paul continued to expand the business and look after its team during two years of Covid.
As a result, the company turned a significant profit and our franchisees are now reaping the awards. Many of our franchisees are taking home tens of thousands of pounds each month in commission.

Steve told us:
“In my early years in business, I learned that by helping others be successful, you are successful yourself. It’s been my ethos from the very start of The Travel Franchise and our entire business model is built on it.
There is no greater satisfaction than seeing the sheer scale of our franchisees’ success – both in the money they make and the way they transform their lives for the better.
To be also recognised by other industry leaders as Business Person of the Year for helping others make significant profit is the icing on the cake.”
With so many exciting initiatives on the horizon, awards judges clearly value the pace and enthusiasm of its leaders and so we look forward to more trophies on our shelves!
Winners will be announced with a sensational gala event at The Ageas Bowl in Southampton on September 28th and hosted by comedian and star of ITV’s hit show The Chase, Paul Sinha.
