Our Story

Built by People Who’ve Done It Themselves

Kelly and Karl began their own travel businesses as independent agents within a franchise. They understand what it takes to start from scratch, find customers, build confidence and turn a love of travel into a profitable business.


In 2020, they joined forces to open their first high-street agency, Beverley Travel. Within three years, it had been named the number one travel agency in the UK and Ireland by TTG. Today, Beverley Travel Group includes six high-street locations and a growing community of independent Travel Partners.



That experience sits behind everything we offer. Kelly and Karl remain personally involved in training new Travel Partners, sharing the practical lessons, commercial knowledge and honest support they wish they’d had when they started.
