“What attracted me to join CT Partners was their transparency, flexible offering and the ability to have direct and enhanced relationships with key suppliers,” said Roland Howlett, Director of Frontier said. “It was an easy decision in the end and the perfect solution for our business.”
Landmark Travel’s Gerd Wilmer said: “I look forward to again being able to determine my own destiny with a group of like-minded agents.”
Speaking about the recent growth in membership applications, CT Partners Chairman Barry Mayo remarked “we’re seeing unprecedented interest in membership of CT Partners, motivated by the uniqueness of our business model, with 100% of supplier payments passed directly on to Members, and a high level of collaboration between Members. We are delighted to welcome Frontier Travel and Landmark Travel to the group”.
Both agencies had previously been associated with the Magellan Travel Group.
