Established in 1913, we know the best ingredients for holidays in the great outdoors and have grown and strengthened. More recently we have become partners with a number of organisations which we believe demonstrate our vision, and who seek to actively promote our business.
In 2009 a partnership with The National Trust was created to provide greater awareness about HF Holidays. They have over 3.6 million members and 55,000 volunteers, who enjoy their beautiful houses and gardens reguarly. They protect and open to the public over 350 historic houses, gardens and ancient monuments. We have launched a special holiday collection for all National Trust members which can be viewed here.
In 2009 the Association of Teachers and Lecturers chose HF Holidays as their preferred leisure activity holiday provider. The ATL is the education union and supports 160,000 members across the UK with advice and representation on a range of professional and employment issues, and training courses. Like the National Trust partnership we have chosen specific holidays that we feel ATL members will enjoy.
HF Holidays became a member of Co-operativesUK in 2009. We are now working closely with Co-operativesUK , and planning to strengthen our links with the Co-operative movement, to develop and build on its unique position in the market. HF Holidays is listed as 59th in the Top 100 Co-Operatives in the UK, based on turnover for year ending 2007.
In 2008 HF Holidays became a member of the Outdoor Industry Association [OIA]. The OIA is the trade body for manufacturers, retailers and other organisations that provide products and services for the outdoor leisure pursuits market in the UK.
At HF Holidays we know you want to get the most out of your holiday. It is therefore paramount that you choose a travel provider offering the highest standards of financial protection. HF Holidays provides this through:
