Why Independent Doesn't Mean Alone: Support at Jamie Wake Travel

One of the biggest myths about becoming a travel homeworker is that you’ll be working entirely on your own. At The Independent Travel Consultants, we’ve built a model that proves the opposite — that true independence thrives when it’s backed by the right travel homeworking support.


When you join us, you don’t just get a brand name behind you; you get a community, mentorship, and ongoing development that help you grow your business confidently. Because at Jamie Wake Travel, being independent never means being alone.


Why Travel Homeworking Support Matters


For many new or aspiring homeworkers, the dream is flexibility — working from home, setting your own hours, and building a business you’re proud of. But without the right travel homeworking support, it can quickly feel overwhelming.


That’s where we come in. At The Independent Travel Consultants, our framework is designed to give every home-based travel agent the same level of structure, access, and opportunity as a traditional agency — without the restrictions.


You’ll benefit from:


  • Comprehensive onboarding and training that sets you up for success from day one.
  • Live and virtual events that connect you with suppliers, peers, and mentors.
  • Dedicated business support for compliance, systems, and supplier relationships.
  • Emotional support and community from other independent travel consultants who understand the journey.


With us, travel homeworking isn’t solitary — it’s a shared path to growth.


What Real Support Looks Like


We don’t just talk about support; we’ve built it into every part of the homeworking experience.


1. Training That Builds Confidence


Whether you’re new to travel or returning after years in the industry, we provide one-to-one onboarding, learning modules, and regular updates through our live sessions. Each one helps you master systems, product knowledge, and customer service while giving you the confidence to sell and succeed.


2. Mentorship That Keeps You Grounded


Every travel homeworker at Jamie Wake Travel has access to mentorship and guidance. You’re paired with people who’ve been in your shoes — who understand the highs and lows of travel homeworking. This helps you avoid mistakes, celebrate wins, and feel part of something bigger.


3. Systems and Tools That Simplify Work


From booking platforms and dynamic packaging tools to social media templates and marketing guides, our infrastructure handles the heavy lifting. You’ll spend less time on admin and more time doing what matters — growing your client base.


4. A Community That Always Has Your Back


Perhaps the most valuable part of our travel homeworking support is the community. You’ll connect with others on similar journeys, share ideas, and join regular discussions and online events. It’s not a competition — it’s a collaboration.


The Jamie Wake Travel Difference


There are plenty of travel homeworking companies out there — so why choose us?

Because we’ve lived it.


Jamie Wake founded 
The Independent Travel Consultants after years in the industry, recognising how many homeworkers felt isolated and unsupported. We’re rewriting that story.


Here’s how:


  • No joining fees or inflated costs. You shouldn’t pay thousands just to start working.
  • Transparent commissions and payments. We value your time and effort.
  • Real human connections. We don’t hide behind corporate chatbots — you’ll always talk to real people who care.
  • Inclusivity at the heart of the brand. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to build a successful travel business, no matter their background.


That’s what true travel homeworking support looks like — not empty promises, but real people invested in your success.


Building Confidence Through Connection


Isolation is one of the biggest challenges for home-based travel agents — especially in the early months. That’s why we run regular meet-ups, virtual catch-ups, and supplier-led events that keep our community connected.


These sessions aren’t just about product updates — they’re about sharing experiences, learning from one another, and staying inspired. You’ll leave each one more motivated, informed, and ready to take on your next client.


And if you ever hit a bump in the road? You’ll never face it alone. There’s always someone ready to help.


Jamie Says:


“The beauty of travel homeworking is freedom — but freedom doesn’t mean isolation. We’ve created a space where you can be your own boss and part of a family that wants you to succeed.


You’ll have your name above the door, but you’ll never feel like you’re knocking on it alone.”


For New and Experienced Agents Alike


Our travel homeworking support model is designed for both newcomers and experienced travel professionals.


  • For new homeworkers: We’ll walk you through everything — from handling enquiries to completing bookings and building repeat business.
  • For experienced agents: We’ll give you the freedom to grow your brand your way while taking care of back-office processes and compliance.


Whatever your level, you’ll get the same warm welcome, strong infrastructure, and ongoing encouragement to make your homeworking business thrive.


Independent, But Never Alone


We say it all the time — because it’s true. Independence doesn’t have to be lonely. The Independent Travel Consultants community is full of supportive, talented people who share advice, motivation, and the occasional laugh when things get tough.


That’s what makes our homeworking family special. It’s not just about systems and commissions — it’s about people helping people succeed.
