Laver Holidays was founded in 1991 by current directors Tony and Jean Laver. At the time there were two offices, Derby and Nottingham, and a total of five staff. Their son, Martin, joined in the early days and daughter-in-law, Anita followed. Granddaughter, Donna, is now fully entrenched as company accountant!

The company now employ 15 people, full or part-time, and operate from four offices around the East Midlands (See 'Contact Us'). The company have proved to be innovators for the coach holiday industry in-as-much-as they were amongst the very first in the country to provide a 'Door-to-Door' service, with every passenger being collected from their home - and the very first to introduce 'Mystery Tours' (of more then 1 day).

Since then other innovations have followed, such as a small bag of sweets for each passenger on departure, printed itineraries to enjoy and keep and, since 2005, the introduction of 'Mature Singles' holidays, especially designed to compensate for the fact that most tour companies fail to provide enough single rooms to meet demand - Another 'First' for Laver Holidays, but one that has quickly been emulated by our competitors!

Air & cruise holidays have been introduced in more recent years, giving Laver Holidays one of the most comprehensive 'One Shop' programmes offered by any family business, certainly in the Midlands.
