Hays Travel has entered an exclusive partnership with Barmy Army Travel – the experience brand that makes following the England cricket team in the UK or overseas as enjoyable as possible for fans by providing travel, events, tickets and many more benefits.
Barmy Army Travel takes thousands of England fans on bucket list sporting adventures around the world. As the exclusive Bespoke Travel Partner, Hays Travel will arrange uniquely curated flight and hotel packages, giving Barmy Army supporters an extra layer of personalisation to their trips.
Having joined Hays Travel only two months ago as Commercial Assistant, Katharine Dunwoodie is excited to have brokered the deal. Katharine said: “Having moved back to the North East I naturally wanted to join Hays Travel – so was thrilled that my application was successful. I have lots of airline knowledge from my previous role with Travel Up Group, but as a keen sports fan, it’s like my role in the commercial team is made for me!
“Brokering the exclusive partnership with the Barmy Army has been a great experience – the partnership is an excellent fit for our two businesses and I’m sure customers will really benefit from the ease and confidence of booking their tickets and travel to support English cricket in one go.”
Through the partnership, Barmy Army members will be able to go into any of Hays Travel’s 450 branches around the UK to book their England cricket ticket and travel package.
Chief operating Officer, Jonathon Woodall-Johnston, said: “This exclusive partnership with Barmy Army is a perfect match that I’m confident cricket fans will appreciate. As with any booking they will have the same level of support before, during and after travel as any other Hays Travel customer, giving them confidence that they are in good hands.”
Charlie Garratt, Barmy Army Travel Manager, said: “At our core, we are an organisation for the fans. For over 25 years, we have offered ticket-only options right up to fully inclusive travel packages. Hays Travel is the perfect partner for us to further widen our offering and ensure we can provide for those who are looking for a more tailored option. We can’t wait to see Hays Travel customers enjoying the Barmy Army Travel experience in the future.”
