A Salisbury-based travel company has added a new company to it’s growing portfolio – Brightwater Holidays.
Specialist Journeys, which has offices in Salisbury, Petersfield and New York, has acquired Fife-based Brightwater Holidays.
Brightwater offers a variety of horticultural and special interest holidays, from cruises and island holidays to shorter, domestic coach trips for holiday-makers, private groups and organisations and societies.
Specialist Journeys is made up of four tour operators; Historical Trips, Archaeological Tours, Arblaster & Clarke Wine Tours, and award-winning Andante Travels. It provides guided small-group tours in history, archaeology and wine experiences, led by professionals and scholars in the relevant areas.
Ian Finlay, chief executive of Specialist Journeys, said: “The Brightwater acquisition is an exciting addition to our existing portfolio of brands and provides us with the ability to broaden our holiday offerings to our existing customer base, as well as attracting new customers, in response to the growing demand for high quality, expert-led travel.
