Travelex creates 1,200 jobs globally in expansion spree

Foreign exchange brand Travelex has created and filled over 180 new jobs across the Middle East region over the past six months, and has created a further 1,200 new jobs internationally, it said on Tuesday. The announcement follows a series of major new contract wins across the APAC, Europe, MET and UK regions as both the international travel and FX markets continue to strongly recover post-pandemic. Travelex recently launched its 30th location at Dubai International Airport and inaugurated a new store at Al Doha Al Jadeda metro station in Qatar, as well as new mobile kiosks at Hamad International Airport, ahead of this year’s FIFA World Cup. In the UK, over 1,000 new positions are being created across retail, wholesale and head office operations, including at London Stansted, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Belfast international airports, as well as two supermarkets. Across the ANZ region, Travelex is creating more than 100 retail and head office jobs in cities such as Adelaide, Brisbane and Cairns. It will be launching more than 10 new stores in Australia and New Zealand. In Europe, Travelex has won the contract for Cologne Bonn Airport, and is also set to expand its offering at Frankfurt
