Welcome To The Holiday Fixer!

The Holiday Fixer is the latest agency to join our growing Advantage Managed Services (AMS) model. Founded by Britt-Marie Monks, The Holiday Fixer has grown into a thriving travel business with a team of 30 homeworkers, affectionately known as the "Fixers," who specialise in crafting unforgettable holidays for their clients.

Britt's journey into the travel industry began in 2016 following an unexpected redundancy. With a wealth of travel experience and a desire to build a career that worked around her family, she took the leap to become a self-employed travel agent. By 2018, after two years of planning, she officially launched her own agency. Her passion for travel and dedication to creating bespoke holidays has allowed her to deliver once-in-a-lifetime experiences, with the brand even expanding into luxury weddings and honeymoons through The Honeymoon Fixer.

But Britt’s path to success hasn’t been without obstacles. In her first year of operating, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. After beating the illness, she then faced the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these setbacks, Britt and her resilient team have continued to thrive, expanding their network of Fixers and launching the Become a Holiday Fixer Mentor Programme. The company now aims to reach 50 Fixers by the end of 2025 and is recruiting a sales and business development manager to support its growth.

Reflecting on her journey, Britt said:

"Being made redundant was the best thing that ever happened to me. Setting up my travel business has been life-changing—it’s not a job, it’s a vocation. Advantage’s AMS model gives us the support we need while allowing us the freedom to run our business our way. That flexibility is essential for staying relevant and pushing boundaries."

She also had advice for budding entrepreneurs:

"Do your research. I worked for a large travel franchise for two years before going independent to build confidence. It takes hard work and dedication, but if you dream big, it’s worth it."

Kelly Cookes, Chief Commercial Officer at Advantage Travel Partnership, shared her enthusiasm:

"We’re overjoyed to welcome The Holiday Fixer to the Advantage family. Britt’s ethos of exceptional service aligns perfectly with ours, and we’re excited to support her continued success through our AMS model."

As The Holiday Fixer prepares for its first-ever conference in 2025, the future looks bright for this dynamic and passionate travel brand.
