EXPANDING PROFESSIONAL NETWORK

Bakewell Travel has grown dramatically since starting over 25 years ago. Managing Director Gary Cooke has developed the business from a thriving independent agency into a multi faceted luxury travel network., specialising in 'tailor-made' travel, long haul flights, cruises and international business travel.

Complementing our long-established retail premises in Derbyshire, Gary has attracted several highly experienced travel professionals who have become part of Bakewell Travel while working independently outside Derbyshire. Each one has a huge amount of product knowledge in their own field and they meet regularly to exchange ideas and share information.
