Not Just Travel hosts exclusive Midsummer celebration
Consultants and their families were treated to classic fairground games, giant inflatable slides and bouncy castles that kept both children and adults entertained throughout the afternoon.
A pizza van served up pizzas on demand, and an ice cream stand ensured everyone stayed cool and refreshed in the summer heat.
Adding an extra sparkle to the day were celebrity ambassadors Eamonn Holmes OBE and TV presenter Hayley Sparkes, who took the time to meet attendees, pose for photos, and chat with the company's growing community.
Consultants were able to connect, not only with each other, but also with the wider team, including co-founder Steve, the BDMs and staff members, who were all on-hand to share ideas, answer questions, and simply enjoy the day together.
Throughout the afternoon, consultants also had the opportunity to network with five top travel suppliers - Inside Travel Group, Classic Collection, Travelpack, EasyJet, and Oceania. The industry partners brought Prosecco, goodie bags, and valuable insights, ensuring the event was both enjoyable and informative.
Everyone then came together for a magical sunset BBQ white party, dancing well into the night.
Steve Witt, co-founder of Not Just Travel said: 'This was more than just a free party for our members — it was a celebration of everything Not Just Travel stands for: a sense of community, unwavering support, meaningful connections and the kind of team spirit that makes being part of this business truly special.'
Not Just Travel consultant Becky Westaway said: 'The family day was a great opportunity to not only catch up with colleagues and our favourite suppliers but also to introduce our family to our work one. The kids had a great time playing in the sunshine and bouncing on all the inflatables while we ate pizza and ice cream and caught up with friends. It was a fabulous day out, generously hosted by the NJT HQ team.'

Liverpool Claude Monet exhibition 'will bring his work to life'
An exhibition designed to "bring to life" more than 400 paintings by the renowned Impressionist artist Claude Monet has come to Monet, at Liverpool Exhibition Centre, uses projection technology to allow visitors to experience pieces including Water Lilies, Impression, Sunrise, and Poppies at Argenteuil."What we have done is to imagine if we went with Monet to all the different locations he painted all over Europe," said the exhibition's creative director Mathieu to the exhibition, which runs until 15 August, will see huge projections of Monet's work beamed on to walls and other surfaces. Mr St-Anaud advised people attending the exhibition to "just let go and don't think about art - experience it as an image as Monet felt when he first saw it".Anna Perry, the project's business development director, said Liverpool was chosen to host the first exhibition in Europe following the "overwhelming success" of the UK premiere of Beyond Van Gogh last also said the Liverpool Exhibition Centre team were "phenomenal to work with". Ms Perry praised the city's "culture and acceptance of art and entertainment and the value that people put in it".She said: "It just felt like there was no other place that we could premiere this."It has only been seen in North America before."Ms Perry said the immersive exhibition "really allows people to tap into elements that they might not have been aware that they were going to be exposed to or feel".She added: "They see the artwork around them, they see it on the floor, they hear the sounds, and I think people just get really blown away."Because children can run around "and feel like they've gone inside paintings" it is a great first art exhibition for youngsters, she Perry said Beyond Van Gogh would also return to Monet, who was born in 1840 and died in 1926, is acknowledged as the founder of the Impressionism movement.

The First Minister said details remain commercially sensitive Sign up to our Politics newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

The Scottish Government is actively exploring a package which could deliver new work to the troubled Alexander Dennis bus maker, John Swinney has said. The First Minister said he could not provide further details due to 'commercial sensitivity'. He has asked the company to consider an extension to its consultation period while the package is developed. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad General view of the Alexander Dennis site at Camelon, near Falkirk | PA Last month, Alexander Dennis announced it was proposing to consolidate its UK operations at a single site in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. The decision puts 400 jobs at risk at its facility in Falkirk in another blow to the Forth Valley, which has already seen more than 400 jobs go at the Grangemouth refinery this year. Mr Swinney said: 'Scottish ministers place the utmost importance on the presence of Alexander Dennis in Scotland and the retention of its highly skilled manufacturing workers. 'The Scottish Government has committed to exploring any and all viable options throughout the consultation period to allow the firm to retain its skilled employees and manufacturing and production facilities. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'While I cannot provide details due to commercial sensitivity at this time, I hope this update provides the workforce and local community with further assurance that the Scottish Government remains wholly committed to supporting the future of bus manufacturing in Scotland. 'We will undertake this work in tandem with every other short, medium and long-term opportunity we continue to explore in close collaboration with the company, Unite, GMB, Scottish Enterprise, Transport Scotland and the UK Government.' Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes will meet with the unions GMB and Unite today to update them on the proposal. Labour previously accused Holyrood ministers of overlooking Scottish industry in favour of ordering buses from China. Mr Swinney argued state aid regulations – in the form of the UK-wide Subsidy Control Act – prevent the Government from directly procuring from a single supplier like Alexander Dennis.

But they should be leaving no stone unturned about how we can keep this bus company open."
