Hays Travel Chair Dame Irene Hays, was in Dalton Park, Seaham last week to officially open the company’s newest branch.
The branch is headed up by Manager David Musson, who has worked for Hays Travel for 17 years and been a manager for the past seven. He will oversee a team of five, including Assistant Manager Kim Nielsen-Hill, three travel consultants, and a dedicated foreign exchange consultant.
Dame Irene said: “All our new branches are special, but we are particularly excited about this one! Dalton Park is an increasingly popular destination for not only shopping but also leisure and eating out, with the cinema and choice of catering outlets for visitors.
“We have a great team in the branch, who are excited to be booking holidays and arranging travel money for their customers. It was a delight to officially open this new branch and wish them every success in what I am sure will be a thriving new branch.”
The Dalton Park store is in the same town as Hays’ first branch, which opened in Seaham 45 years ago and is still operating.
A spokesperson told Travel Gossip: “Dame Irene has been keen to have a presence on Dalton Park for a while, was waiting for the right premises to become available.”
