Joseph Barter my great-grandfather started this business in 1865. If he was alive today, I wonder what he would make of Travel Industry Communications and the Internet.

Joseph sold bicycles, sewing machines, bound books and as a side sold passages on ships thereby becoming what was then known as a Shipping Agent. At that time the sea, as it had been for ever before, was the only mode of worldwide transport. Some of these passages would have been from Ireland, but in many cases travellers had to tranship/transit through the UK for onwards travel. Some of these clients would no doubt have been victims of the Famine – but also there were many who travelled for leisure and a few who did the Grand Tour of Europe including Italy, Greece or the Nile.

With the development of the railways he added Railway Agency, and that was followed at the middle of 1880’s by forming an association with the Thomas Cook Company. My grandfather Thomas made a deal with John Mason Cook son of the famous Thomas Cook, on the basis that as Cooks did not have any representation outside of Dublin we would look after the rest of the country as required. We thereby became an Authorised Representative of Thomas Cook & Son and this agreement was made on the basis of a gentleman’s agreement and remained like that for 40 years until somebody in Thomas Cook thought we should formalise it!
