About Us
Travel & Leisure Group is the longest established and possibly the largest independent timeshare resale brokerage in Europe, with over 27 years in the resale business at international level. We are a family owned company and have been in the timeshare business since 1985, earning a reputation of quality and trustworthiness. We pride ourselves on being the industry experts in timeshare resale brokerage and cover all the main European languages. We work in conjunction with numerous resorts, but are independent brokers and not bound to any.
Travel & Leisure Group is a financially secure organisation whose head office in Sudbury, a small office in London and presentation rooms in Oslo, Norway.
Founded in 1992 by Maria Mills, she began her career as a financial consultant for Tourism Advisory Group and Holiday Bourse. They were, at that time, the first resale company in England and were owned and managed by Brian Wates, the former Managing Director of RCI Europe & South East Asia. It was here that she was appointed to run a timeshare development in Devon called Clovelly Golf & Country Club (later renamed Hartland Forest Golf & Country Club). In 2012, Maria’s former colleague Sarah Bond, came to work as Maria’s Operations Manager and develop the rental side of the business. With 27 years of experience (17 at Tourism Advisory Group and 11 here at Travel & Leisure Group), Maria felt happy to hand the reigns over to Sarah, who recently acquired the company. Sarah is now Managing Director, continuing Maria’s work in the resale industry.
Travel & Leisure Group provides a safe environment in which private individuals can buy and sell their timeshare interests. We are members of RDO, ARDA and Chamber of Commerce and therefore bound by their strict rules and codes of conduct. We are a British company governed by English law, and appoint First National Trustee Company (FNTC), independent Trustees for all client monies (with so many scams in the industry, this gives our clients peace of mind that their monies are safe). We also have an in-house Legal Services Team, knowledgeable in all types of timeshare transfer. Travel & Leisure Group modus operandi gives developers the assurance that any purchaser of a resale week, fractional ownership or points, have not been mis-sold and will be happy with the acquisition and the service provided. Vendors achieve the best price and vendors and purchasers have received a good service and felt important and valued.
