Gray Dawes Travel is a multi-award winning, global travel management company with offices in the United Kingdom, Australia, The Netherlands and the United States. Established in 1865, we’re constantly growing by using technology and our passion for what we do to keep evolving.

With a laser focus on offering our clients a high touch, high tech, high content experience, at Gray Dawes we’re not just there to deliver the best corporate travel fares, the most innovative itineraries, the slickest online tools or the most experienced consultants. We’re there as an extension of our clients’ own organisations – their out-of-house travel department. We achieve this because of the depths we go to in understanding our clients, their culture, their brand values and business objectives. And we always deliver… better!

If this all sounds like something you want to be a part of then we'd like to hear from you. We offer a fantastic work environment, with all the benefits and perks you’d expect from a forward-thinking and people-focussed organisation. And we’re always on the lookout for skilled and motivated individuals to become part of the Gray Dawes family.

Our people are at the heart of our business and we’re recruiting for an experienced Business Travel Consultant to join our Manchester based team. You'll primarily be based in our Manchester office, but hybrid working is available. This is an exciting time to join us as we’re rapidly expanding our global operations.

What You’ll Do

Providing high levels of customer service, you’ll:

• Handle enquiries and reservations ensuring that they are responded to professionally, arranging and confirming bookings and building traveller’s profiles to make sure that their needs are met
• Carry out research for our clients to make sure they get the best deal
• Process E tickets and travel documentation
• Offer advice and guidance on available options to our clients for each itinerary including advice on visas, passport requirements and vaccinations
• Handle refunds and cancellations
• Help to train and support new staff as they join the team

What we’re looking for

• You’ll be a motivated, passionate individual who has previous experience of working in business travel
• Experience using GDS platforms.
• You’ll have an excellent telephone manner, excellent verbal reasoning skills and great attention to detail
• You’ll be happy to work between the hours of 8am and 6pm on a rota basis and be able to attend out of hours training if required

What We Can Offer

Our people are our heartbeats, driving everything that we do. We encourage our people to be their best selves, do the right thing, tell it like it is and be flexible. This opportunity will allow our new team members to be part of our journey as we expand in the global market. As we value our people, we offer a range of great benefits including;

· Competitive annual leave plus bank holidays

· Private healthcare (currently under review)

· Volunteering days with our chosen company charity

· Christmas Savings Scheme

· Season Ticket Loans
