TRADE union TSSA has welcomed the announcement that all 555 Thomas Cook shops are to be bought by a rival company in a move that could possibly save 2,500 jobs.
Travel agent Hays Travel announced today that it intends to buy all of the tour firm’s shops from the Official Receiver.
The independent travel agent, which already operates 190 travel shops across Britain, is to reopen the shops with immediate effect once it finalises the buyout.
