Durham Cricket team up with UK's leading travel agents

Durham Cricket have announced a new partnership with Hays Travel to bowl over families.

The deal with the Sunderland-headquartered travel agents will last through to the end of the current season and sees the UK’s largest independent travel agent become a Club partner.

Under the new partnership, Hay Travel will become sponsors of Durham Cricket’s popular family stand and their new branding will be displayed around the perimeter at the Seat Unique Riverside.

In addition, Hays Travel will be giving away a free holiday to fans after the Riverside hosted the latest rain-affected one day international between England and Australia this week.

Founded in the North East more than 40 years ago, Hays Travel now has nearly 500 branches across the country and last year won three gold British Travel Awards, as Best National Travel Retailer, Best Travel Agency for Cruise Holidays, and Best Retailer for Forex/Travel Money.

The family-owned independent agency is recognised for its friendly and professional colleagues and the value it places on  the people and the communities where it operates.

David McNiven, Hays Travel head of marketing, said: “Hays Travel is committed to working with the communities where we operate, and we are proud to be headquartered in the North East – making our partnership with Durham Cricket Club a great fit.

"We look forward to exploring the opportunities this exciting new partnership presents.”

Durham Cricket commercial director Tom Seymour added: “We are thrilled to announce this partnership with Hays Travel.

“Hays Travel is a hugely successful North East company and renowned nationally for its exceptional levels of service in the travel industry.

“I look forward to working with Hays Travel and building on this exciting partnership.”
