Cruise118 is set to almost double its number of employees over the coming months.

The company, which has seen record sales up more than 100% year on year, is looking for 40 new cruise concierge staff, to join its existing 40-strong sales team.

The cruise company has moved away from the traditional call-centre approach to travel sales, launching a unique cruise concierge service. 

The newly recruited staff will be based either from their home, or Cruise118's Chorley headquarters, as part of the company's commitment to flexible working for employees.

James Cole, director at Cruise118, said: "We've had an amazing year, and are really excited to be in the position to grow the company further in 2010.

"We are looking for staff with an excellent attitude, hard work ethic and sales experience, ideally within the travel industry. Our company ethos is ‘exceptional as standard' and we're looking to recruit the highest-calibre staff to ensure we can continue to provide a first class service to our customers."
