Fred Olsen Travel has opened a brand new concept store in Chichester, it’s 22nd high street shop in total and its fourth in Sussex after Worthing, Eastbourne and Heathfield.
The new store, which was officially opened on Wednesday 9th October by Chichester’s Deputy Mayor and City Councillor Stuart Loxton, is Fred. Olsen Travel’s fifth concept store.
TUI, Travelsphere & Just You, Azamara, Wendy Wu Tours and Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines are all supporting the branch with in-store branding.
Representatives of these companies also attended the event and mingled with local business owners and potential customers.
The store is led by industry stalwart Roger Mallock who has decades of travel experience, having started in the industry in the 1980s and worked for leading brands such as Lunn Poly, Bath Travel, Planet Cruise, Hays Travel and Woods Travel.
He also has valuable knowledge of operators thanks to his past experience working onboard Fred. Olsen Cruises and also as a tour director for Saga and Shearings.
The new shop is in a prime location in the centre of Chichester and offers the exceptional service and product knowledge that Fred. Olsen Travel is renowned for.
Paul Hardwick, Fred. Olsen Travel’s Director of Retail, comments: “We are delighted to have opened our newest concept store in Chichester, which further expands our retail footprint and adds to our recently established cluster of shops in Sussex.
“We are looking forward to welcoming the people of Chichester and the surrounding areas into the store to discuss their holiday and cruise requirements with our friendly and knowledgeable team.”
Fred. Olsen Travel has been a fixture on the high street for 36 years with 22 travel agencies: ten in East Anglia in Ipswich, Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Framlingham, Colchester, Bury St Edmunds, Beccles and Norwich; eight in Dorset and Hampshire in Hythe, Lymington, Westbourne, Christchurch, Ferndown, Dorchester, Lee-on-Solent and Ringwood; and three in Sussex in Heathfield, Eastbourne and Worthing.
Full details of all our branches can be found at www.fredolsentravelagents.co.uk.
Each branch has its own strong identity and is run passionately by the branch manager and team who look to deliver unrivalled service and knowledge when sourcing the best holidays and cruises for their customers.
In an age when much is made of the decline of the high street it is worth noting that Fred. Olsen Travel Agents have actually increased their number of high street outlets, adding seven new shops in the past four years.
