A fast-growing Merseyside travel firm is launching a search for over 40 new apprentices who will be given the added perk of road testing dream holidays.
Hays Travel North West, which has 46 travel agencies across Merseyside, the North West and North Wales, says it needs the new recruits to cater for record demand. Hays Travel North West, which is fully ABTA and ATOL-registered, was set up by Don Bircham in Mold town centre, in Flintshire, in 2000, and has grown rapidly since then.
Hays are looking to bolster teams in their Liverpool area shops at Allerton, Bootle, Crosby, Huyton, Kirkby, Maghull, Ormskirk, Skelmersdale, Southport and St Helens and across the Mersey on the Wirral at Bebington, Birkenhead, Ellesmere Port, Heswall, Moreton, Prenton, Wallasey and West Kirby.

They will be holding three days of open events at Liverpool, Manchester and Wrexham on April, 12, 13 and 14 with each person attending given the chance to give a presentation on their own dream destination and how to get there.
The open days will be a chance to meet staff at Hays Travel and to learn more about the travel industry and the opportunities it provides after which the successful applicants will be invited for an interview with the manager of the branch they have applied for.
The new appointees will start work in July 2023 and will be provided with a comprehensive training package with a nationally-recognised qualification, an NVQ Level Two/Three in Travel and Tourism on completion.
Among the 2022 recruits, is 18-year-old Brandon who was on work experience at the company’s Southport branch when he attended last year’s Liverpool open day. He was taken on in July and last month earned a £1,000 bonus for his outstanding sales.
Brandon said: “I was at college and really wanted to work in the travel industry so when this came up it was a no-brainer. It has been amazing and I absolutely love it here and want to try and do it all because Hays is a brilliant company to work for and I’m going on a trip to Cyprus this year so there are really good benefits as well.
He added: “The Hays Travel Apprenticeship means I can learn while I earn and getting a bonus at the end of the month really makes my day and I have been putting this to one side to save for an upcoming holiday to San Francisco.’’
