Hays Travel has officially reopened its Blackburn branch following a major refurbishment as part of the company’s ongoing store investment programme.
Owner and Chair Dame Irene Hays and Chief Operating Officer Jonathon Woodall-Johnston visited the King William Street store on Friday to cut the ribbon and mark the reopening of the branch.
The refurbishment forms part of the Hays’ multi-million-pound investment strategy, aimed at improving energy efficiency across its retail sites and enhancing the customer experience in-store.
Branch Manager Stephanie Rowley said: “Friday’s grand opening was a huge success and was one of the proudest days of my career.
“It was brilliant to welcome Dame Irene and Jonathon to our fantastic new shop. Their support means so much to the team. We are all over the moon with the refurbishment and we can’t wait to show it off to our customers.”
The Blackburn branch was closed for around a month while the refurbishment took place, and customers were able to reach the team via phone.
Jonathon Woodall-Johnston added: “It was a pleasure to visit Stephanie and her team in Blackburn, who continue to do an outstanding job supporting their local community.
“A key feature of this branch is our new foreign exchange concept, which places our award-winning travel money service front and centre, making it even more accessible and convenient for customers.
“We remain committed to investing in our retail estate and it is always fantastic to see the results of these transformations following a refit.”
