New premises for Gilpin Travel |
 | Gilpin Travel opened its new doors in Auckland's Ponsonby in early March and hosted suppliers to a few drinks and nibbles to celebrate. Managing director Keith Sumner shared his vision for 2010 and took the opportunity to announce Gilpin's appointment as preferred agent of the Middle Eastern Business Council. Gilpin will accompany a trade mission to the Middle East, coinciding with the signing of New Zealand's Free Trade Agreement with the Gulf States in late April. 'We've put together a group buying deal with a number of suppliers and Innovative Travel has come on board as a trade partner,' says Sumner.
