The brand, acquired by JG Travel Group last year, has partnered with Flexi Reps to resume face-to-face agency visits, starting in the north east and north west – with more planned for the rest of the month.

In total, the team – reps Michael Bowers and Simon McDermott – completed 55 visits, aiming to help agents build their knowledge of National’s UK breaks.

"Michael and Simon have had a fantastic first week visiting agents on behalf of The JG Travel Group, promoting our National Holidays brand," said JG trade sales manager Claire Dutton.

"Agents have been really pleased to see them and fed back to us how much they appreciate our visits as they recognise the importance of face-to-face supplier contact.

"Both reps will continue to visit agents in the north east and north west throughout May to ensure agents are up to speed on our products and ultimately help them grow their UK holiday sales."

Mollie Ince from Hays Travel Rochdale said: "It has just been so lovely to have a supplier sales rep walk through our door as it’s been over a year since we’ve had any visits.

"UK holidays are of course a focus for us this year, and I can’t tell you how refreshing it has been to talk face-to-face and hear all about what National Holidays has to offer.

"There simply is no better way to for us to improve our product knowledge and ensure we are maximising every sales opportunity."
