Ready for take off: Mayor opens new independent travel agency in Rugby town centre

A new independent travel agency has landed in Rugby town centre.

Rugby Mayor Nooria Sayani officially opened The Travel Place, in the Swan Centre, at the weekend.

She said she was excited to support a new business in the town.

Glenn Wright, Branch Manager, said: “We had over 100 guests with a steel drummer who got everyone in the holiday mood.

"The open day included street performers including a stilt walker and mirror man. Two air cabin crew got a lot of positive attention too.”

Their chosen charity of the year is Rugby Guide Dogs and they were visited by volunteers and dogs who helped raise nearly £100 on the day. A donation of £10 will be made to the charity with every booking made this week.

“Our office has a VIP lounge - a first in Rugby for a travel agency offering a bespoke, concierge travel service,” Glenn added.

“We have more than 120 years' experience in the industry at our new branch.”
