Audley Travel

Over at John Lewis, the retailer is expanding its in-store services through several partnerships.

Audley Travel will open travel hubs across 12 stores, Randox Health will expand from three to seven locations, and Tish Lion will grow its piercing and jewellery presence from three to nine.

And jewellery retailer Austin & Blake opened a new store at West Quay Shopping Centre in Southampton, offering engagement rings, wedding bands and jewellery featuring natural and lab-created diamonds and coloured gemstones.

In more updates, every parcel services are facing disruption across UK shops and post office branches following changes to its collection network.

Uh, you've got On The Beach, who've also launched a cruise division, uh, this year, so they're expanding there.

Audley Travel have announced recently that they're looking to do a retail partnership with John Lewis.

Um, obviously famously, uh, n- uh, partnered with Kuoni before, so that's a, a new retail partnership.

Yesterday I think the news broke about, uh, Imagine Travel, Imagine Cruising partnering with Travelbag, um, so another retail move there, which is an interesting one, and I think a lot of businesses will be thinking about retail, high street, and, and that as a route to expand.
