Shearings Holidays parent Specialist Leisure Group has gone into administration with 2,500 job losses and tens of thousands of cancelled bookings.

Specialist Leisure Group, the former owner of Shearings, collapsed in May 2020

Two of the group companies, Shearings and Wallace Arnold, were members of Abta, while National Holidays and UK Breakaways were members of the Confederation of Passenger Transport.
  
The group had more than 64,000 bookings, the vast majority of which were coach package holidays. All package holiday bookings are financially protected so customers with these bookings will receive a full refund, with coach packages protected by the Confederation of Passenger Transport. 

Shearings also offered a small number of flight package holidays, which are Atol protected and will be processed by the CAA.
