Finchglow Travels marks 16 years of providing travel services to clients

By Sade Williams/Business a.m.

Finchglow Travels, one of the leading travel management companies in Nigeria and a subsidiary of Finchglow Holdings has hit another milestone of 16 years in operations.

Bankole Bernard, group managing director noted: “Sixteen years ago, we started out as a small travel agency in a plaza at Falomo, our vision has remained the same which is to provide excellent travel services and experiences for our clients. Today, we have expanded from that small office at Falomo to a brand with offices across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and now Kano!”

According to him, the company owed its success to its staff and management, as well as the processes it has put in place to make Finchglow Travels a leading travel management company in Nigeria.

“I would also use this medium to call on players and aspiring players in the industry to pay more attention to professional development as it remains a major key for growth in the downstream sector of the aviation industry. There is a need to bridge a knowledge gap between the older players and the new entrants and that is one of the reasons we have invested in the Finchglow Travels Mentorship Programme,” Bernard added.

Commenting on the Finchglow Travels Mentorship Programme, Ezekiel Ikotun noted: “When we launched the Finchglow Travels Mentorship Programme in June 2021, the goal was to help new entrants find their feet in the ever-evolving nature of the travel management industry and the maiden edition was a success. One of the beneficiaries of the mentorship programme is now in our employ and we are pleased to have seen her grow tremendously.”

This year, the mentorship programme is in partnership with Lagos Aviation Academy, which is also a subsidiary of Finchglow Holdings and was recently named the Best Training School in Nigeria during the Nigeria Tourism Awards.
