Nigeria’s travel management company, Finchglow Travels has marked 15 years of providing travel service to Nigerians.
The company attributed its success over the years to the support from its clients, airlines, regulators, trade partners and others.
The Managing Director and Founder of Finchglow Travels, Bankole Bernard said, “I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to our various stakeholders for their support over the years, including our customers, the airlines, regulators, trade partners, corporate clients, and above all, my colleagues.
“With their continual support and the foundation built in the past, I have great confidence that Finchglow Travels will do much better in the coming 15 years.”
The company said as part of its commemorative activities, Finchglow Travels has commenced the maiden edition of its mentorship program with the aim of bridging the gap between junior and senior professionals in the downstream sector of the aviation industry. The company also announced plans to launch its mobile application, Finch Travel App to ease flight bookings and reservations as well as other ancillary services for clients.
“The Finchglow Travels Mentorship Program is our contribution to ensuring that Nigeria has a better structure in place in the downstream sector of the aviation industry. We want a system where professionalism prevails and there is a transfer of knowledge between senior players and junior players for continuity and of course improvement,” Bernard added.
The company recalled that in June 2006, it started out in a shop at Falomo, Lagos, where it sold its first ticket and has ever since recorded growth. Finchglow Travels currently has eight offices across Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt with a portfolio of servicing top brands in Nigeria and Africa.
Despite the pandemic, the Finchglow Travels worked round the clock to ensure that clients whose trips were affected got all the necessary support.
“Finchglow Travels is the true definition of humble beginnings. I’m grateful for the privilege to experience it from the beginning till this stage.
