A TRAVEL agency which offers a "different" type of consultancy for holiday-makers has opened.

Travel Counsellors, which has employees working from home across the country, has recruited its latest travel agent in Darlington.

Teresa Kingston said she is available to clients on a 'round-the-clock basis.'

She said: "I am delighted be part of Travel Counsellors to bring a totally new kind of service to the area.

"The in-house technology available to me is incredible – better than anything I have used on the high street - and means I can search through thousands of holiday options for my customers at the best prices.

"Many people don’t have time to talk or even think about their holiday during the working week and that’s where I come in.

"I am available when it suits them and I can take all the hassle out of the booking process – all they have to do is enjoy themselves.

"I think my customers will really value the personal, caring service and attention to detail I’m offering as a travel counsellor – you can’t get that online."

Ms Kingston also said she had been supplied with the technology to find holidays for her customers.

A spokesperson for Travel Counsellors said: "Teresa has cutting edge technology at her fingertips, which allows her to search through literally thousands of suppliers and holiday products."
