Independent 53-year-old travel agency Millington Travel has become the fourth business to join Hays Travel’s retail portfolio in 2025.

The Leicester-based company, which operates 14 branches across the Midlands, will continue trading under the Millington Travel name, with all jobs secured following the acquisition.

Led by Nick Bland and Nigel Armitage since 2005, the business has built a strong reputation for expertise in long-haul, cruise, and tailor-made holidays.

Hays Travel chair Dame Irene Hays praised the firm’s commitment to service and family values, calling the acquisition “a natural fit”.
