What began as a local independent travel agency has grown into a trusted business serving generations of holidaymakers across Blackburn, Lancashire and beyond.
To celebrate our anniversary, we asked each member of the team to share their favourite destination, their dream holiday and a little about their experience in the travel industry.

In loving memory of Brandon Langford, 22 May 2003 β 25 April 2022.
Our support for Teenage Cancer Trust is deeply personal. We are fundraising in loving memory of Brandon Langford, the much-loved brother of our team member Toni.
Brandon was loving, caring, funny and football-mad, and he was a huge Liverpool supporter. In 2020, he was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma. He later joined a clinical trial at Alder Hey Childrenβs Hospital.
When the trial treatment stopped working, Brandon received compassionate end-of-life care with support from Derian House. He passed away peacefully on 25 April 2022, surrounded by his family, just weeks before his nineteenth birthday.
Teenage Cancer Trust provided invaluable care, kindness and support to Brandon and his family during an unimaginably difficult time. This fundraiser is our way of keeping Brandonβs name, smile and story alive while helping the charity be there for other young people and families facing cancer.
