Saville Travel, which has been operating in Wimborne for the past 44 years, becomes the latest addition to Fred Olsen Travel's network. It follows the passing of Saville's owner Ron Stanley last November.
Fred Olsen Travel said on Tuesday (31 March) it has been working with Ron's daughter Margareta through probate since then to complete the acquisition as quickly as possible to provide clarity for the family, as well as Saville's employees and customers.
Following the acquisition, the agency will continue to operate under the Saville Travel brand but will benefit from being part of the wider Fred Olsen Travel network, including marketing support.
