JF Travel Expands To Four Stores With Acquisition Of Northcoast Travel

JF Travel has confirmed the acquisition of Northcoast Travel. The acquisition takes JF Travel to four stores provincewide.

Speaking on the latest news, Managing Director Jonny Fielding said, “I am delighted to confirm the takeover of Northcoast Travel. As a local man who grew up in the area, this is a business I know well, and taking ownership means a great deal to me personally and professionally.

“When Jenny and I began discussions a few months ago regarding the future of Northcoast Travel, I was honoured that she placed her trust in me to take the business forward. This acquisition represents a strong and strategic move for JF Travel, strengthening our presence while ensuring Northcoast Travel continues to operate with the values it has always stood for.

“In a world increasingly dominated by large national multiples, it is vital that local, family-run businesses are protected while remaining competitive. Under JF Travel’s ownership, increased buying power will allow Northcoast Travel to offer more competitive pricing, while maintaining the personal, local service its customers value.”

Northcoast Travel becomes the first store to open in 2024, after both the Magherafelt and Ballymena stores.

Jonny continued, “To the clients of Northcoast Travel, I want to reassure you that the same experienced staff remain in place, now supported by the wider JF Travel team. North Coast will continue to operate locally, with added strength, stability, and opportunity for future growth. I am incredibly excited about the future of Northcoast Travel and what it can achieve as part of the JF Travel Family moving forward.”
