Travel Counsellors recently won the Celebrity Cruises homeworking agency award and we caught up with Wendy Farrer, one of our home workers, to find out how the day went...

“The day was fab, we were treated like royalty… copious amounts of champagne on arrival! Event was held the 5* Haymarket Hotel in the swimming pool area with stunning mermaids in the pool and entertainers everywhere, it was amazing. I am really proud of Travel Counsellors, especially when you are in the same room as some of the ’big boys’ in the travel industry.

It was great to see the CEO & President Lisa Lutoff – Perlo in I started as a Travel Counsellor 14 years ago having been in travel for almost 20 years, but I was disillusioned, so left and became a housewife for 6 months. I got bored and decided to work for myself. I started with nothing and have built my business over the year, I have now become a Gold Travel Counsellors turning over £1 million in 2015! Just do it… if you work hard you will succeed!”
