Frasers Travel, which has been based in the Ayrshire town of Saltcoats since 1986, on Tuesday (18 August) announced it had ceased trading, thanking customers for their "loyalty and support" over the years.
One member of Frasers staff revealed on social media the team had been "working as normal" before being told the business was closing that afternoon, prompting messages of support from clients.
Now, Dean Greenwood, Director of Kent-based Jackwood Travel which is some nine hours away from Saltcoats by car, has reached out to Frasers staff on social media, offering them opportunities to continue their careers in travel as home-based travel agents.
