Ocean Holidays, established with humble beginnings, has grown into a thriving enterprise that encompasses three distinct travel brands: Ocean Florida, Winged Boots, and Ocean Beds. Headquartered in Romford, the company has become one of the fastest-growing travel businesses in the UK. This growth is rooted in its commitment to employee engagement.

Embracing a hybrid working model, Ocean Holidays has implemented various initiatives to maintain strong employee engagement. Its fortnightly newsletter covers a broad range of topics, including mental wellbeing, financial advice, company updates, and even employees' birthdays. Additionally, Co-CEO Harry Hastings hosts a monthly Town Hall, where he openly discusses company plans, goals, and trading updates, ensuring a transparent environment that encourages employees to ask questions anonymously via communications app, Slido.

Ocean Holidays recognises the importance of corporate social responsibility, demonstrated by its bi-monthly Environment, Social, and Communities newsletter, alongside ongoing fundraising efforts for Haven House Children's Hospice. The company's dedication to giving back extends to their Winged Boots brand, which offers a full private education scholarship for a local state school student at Brentwood School.

Supporting employee wellbeing is a top priority for Ocean Holidays. In collaboration with EveryMind at Work, it has trained Mental Health Champions and offers quarterly webinars on relevant topics, with financial wellbeing being a popular choice. By investing in employee engagement and wellbeing, Ocean Holidays continues to strengthen its position as a leading travel company, driving growth and success for all stakeholders.
