Testimonials

Working from a Retail Agency

"When we started up, we joined Freedom to get the whole package in one go. They provided the ABTA cover, ATOL, do all the admin and leaving us free to sell and make money. They're always friendly and helpful. We think Freedom's great!"
Neil Crawford and Simon Taylor


"We just can't fault Freedom. The support is great. We know agents in other consortia that don't get anything like the support we get, and when it comes to competing on price, we just can't be beaten. Joining Freedom was the best decision we ever made!"
Nyree Reynolds & Jaqui Sheldon

Working from Home

"No commuting, great security, raised earnings, the Co-op's buying power, ATOL and ABTA membership, marvellous quality of life and building our own business together. What's not to like?"
Joanne Copley & Collette Byrne



"All the tiresome admin is handled by Co-op Travel, who are always there with sales support, but never interfere with when or how I work. I have more time for family, socialising and hobbies, so my quality of life has improved too."
David Hoyle
