Travel agencies facing the possibility of making staff redundant due to the ending of furlough support have been offered a lifeline by homeworking agency Holidaysplease.

The company said it would employ travel staff who face losing their jobs on a short-term contract under its own brand during the winter months until cash flow returns to a stable level. 

Once the agencies have the capacity to retain their agents, the "borrowed" staff will have the option to return. 

Holidaysplease has also waived its usual £387 joining fee for experienced agents who have already lost their job.
