Success drives holiday company to open new doors
By admin
The doors have opened on the first Diamond Holidays shop in Cardiff at the end of a year in which it has taken more than 75,000 Welsh holidaymakers away on breaks at home and abroad.
The new branch in Wood Street in Cardiff, is the first for the company which has previously dealt with all bookings over the phone, or at its Swansea headquarters.
Now the executive coach company, which acquired Gwent-based Kingfisher at the end of last year and also owns Brian Isaac Coaches, has expanded into its first walk-in shop near Cardiff’s Central Station.
Employing three full-time members of staff, the new branch will offer customers a face to face booking for Diamonds’ extensive catalogue of European and UK coach holidays. It was officially opened by Swansea-born Cardiff Blues sensation Leigh Halfpenny.
Diamond Holidays’ managing director Chris Roberts said the progression to the Cardiff was an obvious move for a company that is celebrating its 42nd year in business this year.
Chris said: “For 42 years we have been recognised as Wales’ premier coach holiday company, and the calibre of our coaches and the range of products that we offer is testament to that, so opening our first branch has been on the horizon for some time.
“This year Diamond Holidays has taken more than 75,000 people from Wales away on their holidays and we have witnessed an increasingly large take up of people travelling with us from Cardiff, Newport and the Valleys.
“The opening of our first dedicated branch marks a substantial move forward for Diamond Holidays and positions us to be able to offer an accessible and knowledgeable service in a pleasant and conveniently located store.”
