Since then, he’s achieved nearly half a million pounds worth of sales, including a £76K family booking to Orlando. He’s been so successful as a travel consultant that The Travel Franchise awarded his £17k franchise fee back – meaning he’s set up his ready-made company for free.

During the pandemic Ross was left at home with nothing to do and so considered how he could develop his skills. He says “my father passed away in September of this year, and shortly after my step-father was hospitalised. It felt like two months of my life vanished in front of my eyes. I had to follow my passion for travel and so took the leap.”

Ross continues his role in the entertainment industry, while also focusing on his travel consultancy He says: “if I can achieve such success during a pandemic, there is no limit to what I can do after. There is so much pent-up demand for travel, I’m in the perfect position to help customers.”
