Since moving from the eponymous department store to the high street in 2013, Ocky White Travel has grown from strength to strength, with co-directors Mark White and Anna Reed leading a highly professional and affable team of four.
The consultants all take training seriously and each have their own specialisms, from Disney to Sandals and the US to Australia. No customer request is too small either; when one young client wanted to pop the question to his girlfriend, Anna rose to the challenge by enlisting the help of Fairmont Ajman staff to spell out his proposal in giant letters in the sand.
Bottles of bubbly for honeymoon and wedding clients are par for the course, while complimentary airport lounge passes also prove popular. Customers end up becoming such good friends that Anna even hosted three clients for Christmas dinner last year, while an 84-year-old gentleman was treated to a fish and chips lunch when his ticket was hand-delivered.
With a repeat business rate standing at more than 80% and an impressive 5/5 stars based on 114 reviews on Facebook, Ocky White has won over a legion of loyal fans in Pembrokeshire, and the love is reciprocated as the team goes above and beyond to give back to the local community.
Over the past year, the agency has forged two new tie-ups – one with a local ladies’ hockey team and another with a junior cricket club. The consultants ran in last year’s Cardiff Half Marathon, raising more than £700 for local charity Get The Boys A Lift, which promotes mental health awareness. Ocky White is also a corporate sponsor of animal rescue charity Greenacres and sells tickets for local choirs, theatres groups and Rotary clubs.
And with plans to drive the business further with fresh video content and a new bespoke website, the future ahead looks very bright for Ocky White.
“It’s difficult to put into words just how delighted, excited and proud we all are! It really is an incredible honour, especially in such troubled times, to be named as the Top Travel Agency in Wales! Our thanks go out to all our wonderful, valued and loyal customers and friends for making this all possible!”
