Announcing his departure on Twitter on Tuesday evening (6 September), Shapps said his time in the role had been “a privilege”.
Replying to his tweet, Tricia Conroy-Smith, director of Off Broadway Travel, told Shapps: “After all of this you’ll need a holiday! You know Off Broadway Travel make excellent coffee. Pop down and book some sunshine.”
The message was the latest in a long-running dialogue between the team at the Welwyn-based agency and their local MP during the pandemic.
