We’ve proved anyone can do this, with enough passion and drive.
Since we launched our franchise operation, hundreds of people have gone on to start their own travel business under our umbrella.
99% of them had never worked in travel before. And over ¾ had never worked for themselves.
From estate agents, to biochemists, and marketing managers… we’ve seen a huge variety of people from different backgrounds who all decided we were right for their next chapter.
Ben did it
Ben handed in his notice as Marketing Manager for McCarthy and Stone just 16 weeks after he sold his first holiday. He said “I started the travel company around my full-time job, but to be honest, it’s gone so well I couldn’t keep doing both.”
Andy & Nicki did it
Husband and wife, Andy and Nicki, reached the Money Back Challenge (where you can earn your full franchise fee back) despite only working part time. Both started alongside full-time jobs, with Andy running an estate agency and Nicki in the NHS.

Mike & Sean did it
Mike and Sean, best friends for over 17 years, achieved amazing success with their travel business, despite both maintaining their full-time roles alongside. Mike works as an Independent Financial Adviser and Sean works within the entertainment industry.

We know how to scale a travel business and we’re happy to show you everything you need to do.
But that doesn’t mean you have a boss.
This is your business. You can run it exactly how you want.
Unlike a lot of travel franchises, we don’t expect you to commit full-time right away.
You can do it part-time alongside another job (many franchisees do this at first).
You’ll be able to earn up to 75% commission in your favour with us. That’s the highest in the industry.
We also have exclusive lead-generation programs like Partners In Travel that will help you scale your customer base rapidly.
We have consultants who do this part-time and supplement their other income.
We also have consultants who make well over £100k a year, working from home.
We run a number of exclusive mentorship programs for you to take part in. These won’t just teach you to be a travel consultant. They’ll teach you to become the best business owner you can be.
Mentorship depends on your package, but can include:
Our Facebook communities are highly active. Consultants & head office team members are always sharing tips, tricks and information there.
And we’ve got The Hub, where you’ll be kept up to date with everything you need to run your business.
Our office is open 6 days a week to help you with your travel bookings. And we provide emergency support if you ever need it.
But that’s nowhere near half of it. You get a Business Development Manager who’s by your side every single day and online help is just a click away.
Plus, you get constant travel & business growth training.
Here are just 10 ways in which our team supports you…

Join us for NJT Dream Trips
We go away together on optional holidays regularly. Trips planned include Costa Rica, Turkey & Jordan.
Plus we have our regular Ski Trips and Golf Society that you can join in with.
You can go on FAM Trips
While you can work from anywhere, it’s often ideal to visit the places you sell to your customers. That’s where things like FAM trips are invaluable.
FAM trips are where you get taken away by travel companies so that you can learn how to sell their products. Free trips and more sales – what’s not to like?
Make money while you travel
The beauty of being your own boss is that no-one can tell you where or when to work. Many of our consultants meet some of their best customers while they’re on holiday themselves.
As long as you’ve got a phone and a computer, you’ll be able to make bookings wherever you are in the world.
