Employer

BARRHEAD TRAVEL SERVICE LIMITED

Since Barrhead Travel was founded in 1975, the multi-faceted business has grown from one small shop in Glasgow suburb of Barrhead, to now being one of the UK’s biggest retail travel firms with over 80 branches, more than 700 employees and myriad business awards. Most recently this British travel agency has won Best Cruise Retail Agency and Best Large Travel Agency in Scotland for 18 years running. Barrhead Travel has also been recognised for the past five consecutive years as one of the Best Companies to Work For. Barrhead Travel offers attentive and personalised service by highly trained specialists in both long and short-haul destinations including cruise, ski-holidays and tour-based excursions. Over the years the business has expanded in many avenues including the inception of the Brilliant Travel division which oversees the managed service branches and home-based travel specialists, and Barrhead Business Travel which oversees corporate travel. In early 2018, Barrhead Travel embarked on a new chapter with its acquisition by one of North America’s largest travel companies, Travel Leaders Group. Barrhead Travel will retain its distinct brand identity and heart-felt values whilst gaining access to industry-leading technology, exciting new markets and significant expansion opportunities.
