LAH Travel and its team became part of Hays Travel on Monday (10 August) – Hays Travel's first acquisition of the year.

Hill founded LAH Travel more than 22 years ago and the agency has been a member of the Hays Travel Independence Group for more than 20 years. The business will now join Hays Travel's retail network, which includes branches in nearby Largs and Irvine.

Hays Travel Chair Dame Irene Hays said the long-standing relationship between the two businesses had made the acquisition an "easy decision".
