The Independent Travel Consultants

Personal travel experts for customers. Supportive homeworking for consultants. One trusted travel family.

The Independent Travel Consultants is a UK network of friendly, knowledgeable and approachable travel consultants, brought together by the Jamie Wake Travel family.

We exist for two very important reasons.

For customers, we make it easier to find an independent travel agent in the UK who can offer personal advice, tailored recommendations and a more human way to book travel.

For homeworkers, we provide a supportive route into travel homeworking, giving independent travel consultants the tools, training,

community and confidence to build their own travel business with the backing of an established travel company.

So whether you have arrived here because you are looking for an independent travel consultant, an independent travel agent UK, a travel consultant in the UK, or because you are exploring how to become a travel homeworker, you are in the right place.

We are not a faceless call centre. We are not a one-size-fits-all booking platform. We are a growing family of independent travel consultants who believe travel should feel personal, honest, protected and carefully planned.

Who are The Independent Travel Consultants?

The Independent Travel Consultants is the homeworking division of Jamie Wake Travel, created to bring together passionate travel people across the UK.

Our consultants work independently, but they are not alone. They are part of a wider travel family with access to trusted suppliers, booking systems, support, training and professional guidance.

That means customers can enjoy the personal service of an independent travel consultant, while consultants benefit from the structure and support of being part of an established travel business.

It is the best of both worlds: independent service, backed by a trusted travel family.

Part of the Jamie Wake Travel Family

The Independent Travel Consultants is proudly part of the Jamie Wake Travel family.

Jamie Wake Travel was built around a simple belief: holidays should be as unique as the people taking them. That same belief runs through everything we do at The Independent Travel Consultants.

Our family of travel brands includes specialist support for tailor-made holidays, package holidays, cruises, luxury travel, inclusive travel, family holidays, honeymoons, villas, city breaks, beach escapes and more.

For customers, this means access to a wide range of travel knowledge and supplier options.

For consultants, it means joining a business that understands travel, understands people and understands that support matters.

We are growing carefully, not endlessly. We want to build a community where people feel known, valued and supported - not lost in a huge corporate machine.

What we stand for

Personal service

We believe travel should still feel personal. Customers should be able to speak to a real person who listens, understands what matters and helps shape the right holiday.

Honest advice

We are not here to push people into the wrong trip. A good independent travel consultant asks questions, explains options clearly and gives advice based on the customer’s needs.

Professional standards

Being independent should not mean being unsupported. Our consultants work with guidance, training, booking processes and compliance support so they can build their businesses properly.

Financial reassurance

Travel can be a big investment. We believe customers deserve clear information, secure booking processes and a proper explanation of the protection that applies to their holiday.

Opportunity without unnecessary barriers

For people wanting to work in travel, we believe passion, care and commitment should matter more than expensive joining packages. Our homeworking model is built to be accessible, supportive and realistic.

Community over competition

We are building something where consultants can grow together. We want our homeworkers to feel part of a team, not left alone to work everything out by themselves.

Looking for an independent travel consultant?

If you are a customer searching for an independent travel agent in the UK, our consultants can help you plan and book your next holiday with care.

Working with an independent travel consultant gives you something a website cannot always provide: conversation, guidance and reassurance.

You can tell your consultant what you like, what you do not like, what has worked before and what you want to avoid. They can help compare options, explain differences, check availability, look at routes, suggest destinations and help you understand what you are booking.

Whether you are planning a family holiday, a cruise, a luxury escape, a honeymoon, a villa holiday, a city break, a long-haul adventure or a tailor-made itinerary, our consultants are here to make the process easier.

You still get access to a wide choice of travel options, but with a real person helping you make sense of it all.

Looking to become a travel homeworker?

If you are passionate about travel and want to build your own business from home, Independent Travel Consultants could be the opportunity you have been looking for.

Our travel homeworking model is designed for people who want independence, flexibility and support.

You may already have travel industry experience, or you may be starting from a different background with strong customer service skills, destination knowledge or a genuine passion for helping people. Either way, we believe the right support can make all the difference.

As part of Independent Travel Consultants, you can build your own client base, work flexibly and develop your own identity, while still being connected to the Jamie Wake Travel family.

We provide training, systems, supplier access, operational support and a growing community of consultants who understand that travel is about people first.

Different journeys. Shared values.

Customers and consultants may come to us for different reasons, but the values are the same.

Customers want to feel listened to, looked after and confident that their holiday is being handled properly.

Consultants want to feel supported, respected and able to build something of their own without being treated like a number.

The Independent Travel Consultants brings those two worlds together.

We support consultants so they can support customers.

We create structure behind the scenes so the customer experience feels smooth and personal.

We believe better-supported travel consultants deliver better-planned holidays.

That is what makes our model different.

What can our independent travel consultants help with?

Our consultants can assist with a wide range of travel arrangements, including:

Package holidays
Tailor-made holidays
Cruise holidays
Beach holidays
Family holidays
Honeymoons
Luxury travel
Villas
City breaks
Ski holidays
Safari holidays
Flights and accommodation
Touring holidays
Group travel
LGBT+ holidays
Multi-centre itineraries
UK breaks and overseas holidays

Some customers know exactly where they want to go. Others only know how they want the holiday to feel.

Either way, an independent travel consultant can help turn ideas into a clear, bookable plan.

Why use an independent travel consultant?

Booking travel can feel overwhelming. There are endless websites, changing prices, different room types, flight options, transfer choices, baggage rules, board bases and supplier terms.

An independent travel consultant can help you cut through the noise.

Instead of spending hours comparing tabs online, you can speak to someone who understands the travel industry and can help you make a confident decision.

You get a more personal service, but you are not limited to one narrow product range. Our consultants can look at different suppliers and options to help find the right fit for your holiday.

Most importantly, you have someone to come back to if you have questions.

That human support matters.

Why become an Independent Travel Consultant?

If you love travel, enjoy helping people and want more flexibility in your working life, becoming an Independent Travel Consultant gives you the chance to build something of your own.

You can work from home, develop your own client base and create a business that fits around your life.

But you do not have to do it alone.

We offer training, guidance, supplier access, booking support, community and practical help. We want our consultants to feel confident, capable and supported from the start.

Our approach is simple: grow with our homeworkers, not above them.

A smaller travel family with big ambitions

We are not trying to become the biggest homeworking company in the UK.

We are trying to build one of the most supportive.

That means staying close enough to know our consultants, listen to feedback and keep improving how we work.

It also means giving customers a more personal way to book travel, through consultants who care about getting things right.

The Independent Travel Consultants is for people who believe travel should still have a human touch.

Whether you are booking your next holiday or building your future in travel, we would love to welcome you into the Jamie Wake Travel family.
