A SUPPLY teacher who became a travel agent in her spare time is hoping to inspire others to set up their own businesses.
Knutsford mum-of-one Faye Evans, known as Faye Emily on social media, has worked in primary schools since 2020 after switching from a marketing career to one in education.
And, after looking at ways to supplement her teaching income and create something of her own, the 36-year-old turned her hand to travel.
A keen traveller herself, Faye has set up her own business - Forever Explore Travel - and now wants to share with others the opportunity for them to get involved and start their own.
She said: "It's nice to be able to build up a business on my own terms, where I can look at getting clients for myself, or even just booking for family and friends.
"It seemed like a nice thing to be able to fit into my lifestyle, and also give me something for myself, something I can work on myself, that I can build up and feel proud of.
"I'm very passionate about it and I've learned a lot along the way. There's a lot of support from the community and the travel industry is a fabulous industry to be in.
"It is rewarding when we can help people with their dream destinations or dream holidays."
Faye set up her business with InteleTravel, through which she books and sells travel, but she also markets her business through PlanNet.
Here she builds up her own team of independent travel agents and promotes her business.
This community of independent travel agents is known as The Runway Collective, and they each support other in both the travel booking side of their businesses and the network marketing side, as they build our own teams.
Faye, who is hoping to build a team here in Cheshire, added: "I want to help people take back time with their family, save and earn commission through booking their own travel or for their family and friends, and create financial freedom to live life on their terms.
"I believe it is a fantastic opportunity for local families in Cheshire.
"I would love to hear from people who would like to earn a side income or even work towards a full time income through their own flexible business in travel and work around family life and perhaps other work commitments.
"The two separate business work hand in hand giving people the opportunity to earn from both the travel booking side and the network marketing/affiliate marketing side.
"People can choose just to book travel if they so wish or build their own team, however I do both and I have found it to be hugely worthwhile."
Anyone interested in finding out more can reach out to Faye on Instagram or Facebook through @foreverexploretravel or by quoting 'Faye Cheshire Runway' on therunwaycollective.co.uk.
Faye also runs local information coffee mornings in a relaxed setting to give people the opportunity to learn more about her business works and hear about her experience.
Details on the coffee mornings can be found on Faye's social media sites.
