Agents in the frame Top marks for Titan TITAN Travel celebrated a record year with a staff fancy dress party themed the “Class of 2013”.
Everyone, including the directors, joined in the fun with MD Jackie Willis taking the role of Head Mistress, enthusiastically dishing out detentions and canings for bad behaviour, while Agency Sales Manager, Edwina Coppock was PE matron. Exams were taken throughout the day testing the pupils on company activities, and school dinners went down a treat. The day culminated in an assembly and prizegiving to the class swots. All agreed that 2013 had been a marvellous term indeed.
