SOME BACKGROUND
 |
Maverick Travel is a fully licensed & I.A.T.A. accredited retail travel agency
located at 711 Stafford Road, Everton Park, Brisbane Australia. It was established
under its original trading name, Traveland Everton Park, in February 1995. The original
owners were & still are Russell & Janet Kelly.
Since 1995, the business has grown steadily, to now consist of 5 full time staff.
During this time, both the office & individual staff members have won numerous
travel industry awards, including being voted one of the Top 10 Traveland Offices in
Australia, in 2001.
The collapse of Ansett Airlines, the owner of the Traveland brand name,
in September 2001, necessitated a change of trading name - hence the
introduction of our current trading name "Maverick Travel". (Although the name had
been registered since 1999 & had been used to promote our in-house,
fully escorted group tours).

WHY SUCH AN UNUSUAL NAME?
|
Whilst the origins of the word "Maverick" can be traced back to the 19th Century
Texas Rancher, Samuel Maverick & his questionable approach to identifying
his cattle, we chose it after consulting the Collins Concise Dictionary,
which defined a "maverick" as - A person who takes chances -
Of independent & unorthodox views - Someone who departs from
the accepted course.
We felt that this image precisely described our "different" approach
to customer service. In an era where personalised service is a foreign
concept to most large organisations, we have dedicated ourselves to
providing a level of service that is unequalled in the travel industry.
Our business has been built on & will continue to grow as a result of
that level of service.
