Portman Travel has, in the past 12 months, increased revenues by 39 per cent, thanks to a roster of multinational clients, that includes names such as leading pharma business, Alkermes. It employs more than 50 people in its Tralee centre which is also the home of Portman Travel’s highly acclaimed training academy.
Loraine Corkery, Head of Operations at Portman Travel in Tralee, said: “This is a credit to the hard work of everyone in Portman Ireland, the great success of PortmanOne our award winning technology platform and an acknowledgement of the high standards we work to.
“This achievement, coming so soon after Portman’s merger with Clarity, promises lots to look forward to in 2017 and beyond. There will be more investment in Ireland, new sales resources, further technology opportunities and a vital role for the Tralee office to play within the new business.”
