With more than 40 years’ experience, Hays Travel is proud to be the UK’s largest independent travel agent, offering excellent service, value and choice in short haul, long haul, and cruise holidays. In 2023, we were also voted the nation’s favourite travel agent, winning three gold awards at the British Travel Awards thanks to public vote, including Best National Travel Retailer. This year brought further accolade as we were recognised as the travel industry’s Best Agency to Work For. Established by John Hays in 1980, John and Irene Hays became ‘Heroes of the high street’ in 2019, when Hays Travel acquired the entire portfolio of former Thomas Cook shops, providing re-employment opportunities to the 2,500 staff who were made redundant. Hays Travel has continued to grow and now has over 490 branches across the UK and employs 4,500 people. As a family-owned independent agency, what sets Hays Travel apart is our friendly and professional colleagues; we value our people, our customers and the communities where we operate. Being independent, we can offer our customers impartial advice and an extensive range of travel opportunities from hundreds of suppliers, whether in our branches, via our contact centre, through our network of homeworkers, or via our franchisees and independence group members. Throughout its history, Hays Travel colleagues have worked hard to help the communities where we operate. Each year every one of our branches receives £500 to invest in their local community. The Hays Travel Foundation, established in 2015, works with a wide range of organisations and charities to help young people achieve and be the best that they can be in their health, sport, the arts, and education. A friendly atmosphere, positive ethos and supportive culture filter through all parts of our company. If you are enthusiastic, have a passion for travel and like working as a team; then join us and be a part of our success.

AnyVan makes moving anything easier, more affordable and greener for everyone. Our sole objective is to use technology and innovation to improve the efficiency and experience of the entire delivery and moving process. With over 2.8 million customers across the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Ireland since launch over a decade ago, such work has made us the largest, fastest growing tech company in the logistics industry. We develop and apply leading technologies to manage supply and demand. This allows us to facilitate the most efficient journeys (routes, timings and costs) for transport providers, consumers and many recognised household brands, including TK Maxx, UniDays, Dunelm, Santander and Hunters. Sustainability is a core part of AnyVan’s mission. Using technology to help reduce environmental impact has always been at the top of our agenda. We’re proud to say we’ve achieved carbon-neutral status on all our transport moves, and we won’t stop here. In January 2022, Vitruvian partners invested £125m to acquire a majority stake in the business and provide growth capital to support our expansion, making the largest ever growth capital investment into a UK-based logistics marketplace and reinforcing our position as the UK market leader.
