Working at Newmarket Holidays

It's a wonderful world. And at Newmarket Holidays we're privileged to share it with you.

Over the past 40 years, we've built a reputation for providing escorted tours, resort-based stays, river cruises and cruise holidays that combine exceptional value for money and the highest standards of customer care. Whether you're planning a holiday close to home or in one of the world’s far-flung corners, we're here to help you get the very most out of your visit, lifting the veil on the wonders of your destination, and ensuring that your time away is as enjoyable and carefree as possible.

Newmarket Holidays was founded as Newmarket Promotions Limited (with just two staff) in March 1983, in the South London flat of one of its founding directors.

Three and a half decades later, we've become one of the UK's largest independently owned specialist tour operators, with headquarters in Wallington, Surrey.

A major supplier throughout our history of ‘reader holidays’ offered in conjunction with national, regional and local newspapers and magazines, Newmarket has enjoyed long-standing partnerships with all of the UK’s major publishers. Since 2007, with the launch of our bookable website, Newmarket Holidays has traded online, and we've further widened our sales distribution through the development of partnerships with high street travel agents and online affiliates.

At Newmarket Holidays, while our focus has never been on winning awards, we are especially proud of the many (over 50!) British Travel Awards we've won since 2011, because the nominations and votes came from the British public, not just from within the travel trade. Our BTAs, and in particular winning Best Escorted Tour Operator for seven successive years, are a welcome recognition of the successful holidays that we create for our happy customers each year.

The team is a great mix of people. Some have been there from the start, in 1983, others have joined only recently. It’s that mix that makes our team so successful – we love new ideas and change at the same time as we value experience. We want our team members to try new things and to excel, so there are opportunities to try different teams and tasks. And we have a keen interest in keeping communication open and honest. We challenge each other, and that makes us better at what we do. We celebrate success, reward fantastic performance and have a strong focus on personal development with learning opportunities for all.
