Fred. Olsen Travel will open its 22nd shop in Chichester later this month.
This move takes the company’s Sussex portfolio of shops to four after Worthing, Eastbourne and Heathfield.
Earlier this year Fred. Olsen Travel acquired south coast-based Solent World Travel.
It will be the company’s fifth concept store, with TUI, Travelsphere & Just You, Azamara, Wendy Wu Tours and Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines supporting the branch with in-store branding.
The new branch will be run by Roger Mallock who will be joining as Branch Manager, 25 years after opening a Bath Travel agency in the town.
Roger who joined the industry in the 1980s, has worked for Lunn Poly, Bath Travel, Planet Cruise, Hays Travel and Woods Travel, as well as working onboard Fred. Olsen Cruises and as a tour director for Saga and Shearings.
Fred. Olsen Travel Director of Retail Paul Hardwick said: “We are delighted to be further expanding our retail footprint and adding to our recently established cluster of shops in Sussex. I would like to personally thank not just the operators that are supporting us with this newest venture but also all of our operator concept sponsors from all of our recent openings. Without your support and help we would not be able to deliver such aggressive growth on the high-street and to showcase so many fantastic brands which is key to the success of these new stores.”
