Frances Grogan’s parents founded Grogan Travel in Tuam, Ireland, in 1950; she joined the business in 1989 and has worked for it ever since. The agency will now pass into the hands of Frosch Ireland, which is making its third acquisition in as many years.
Managing director Grogan admitted that while it was tough to sell up after 75 years, she was delighted to have found a new home in Frosch, remarking on the two businesses’ shared values.
