Manchester & the North West

Incentive travel for Manchester businesses

We are twelve minutes from Manchester Airport, in Alderley Edge. That means we can sit down with you, and it means we build trips around routes that actually leave from here.

Why use a Manchester-based incentive travel agency?

A local agency builds trips around direct routes from Manchester Airport, so a group arrives together and on time rather than connecting through London. It also means you can meet the people running your trip face to face, before and after, rather than only by email.

Local, and it matters

The airport decides more than the brochure does

Half of what makes a group trip feel expensive or cheap happens before anyone reaches the hotel. A direct flight from Manchester means one departure, one arrival, and a group that starts the trip in a good mood.

Route people through London to shave a little off the per-head cost and you will spend the saving on the first evening, which is now a write-off. We plan around what actually flies from here.

Being local has a second, duller advantage: we can come to you. Most programmes involve at least one conversation that is much easier across a table than over email.

    Short, direct, reliable. The default for a first incentive trip.

  • Lisbon, Porto, Faro

    Good value, and a group can be at the hotel by mid-afternoon.

  • Milan and Northern Italy

    Opens up Lake Como and Lake Garda without a connection.

  • Nice and the Côte d’Azur

    Monaco, Cannes and the Riviera within a transfer of the airport.

  • Marrakech

    Under four hours, and feels a great deal further than it is.

    Close enough for two nights, and useful for the Six Nations.

Questions

The things people ask

Where exactly are you based?
Ten West Street, Alderley Edge — about twelve minutes from Manchester Airport and twenty-five from the city centre. Close enough that meeting in person is normal rather than an occasion.
Do you only work with North West businesses?
No, but a good share of our clients are within an hour of the office, and there is a practical advantage to it. We can sit down with you, and we know the airport, the hotels and the venues here properly rather than from a listing.
Why does departing from Manchester matter?
It decides which destinations are realistic. A direct flight means the group arrives together, on time, in a decent mood. Routing forty people through Heathrow to save a little per head is usually a false economy that costs you the first evening.
Can you run events in Manchester itself?
Yes — conferences, awards evenings and team days across the city and Cheshire, as well as trips departing from here. Chester and Aintree are both close enough for a hospitality day that needs no overnight stay.
